It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Davin “Willow” Martinez on November 3, 2026.

She was born September 17, 1997 to Frank Martinez and Elaine Mares. Davin had a true passion for writing and the outdoors. From a young age, she found joy and comfort in the company of her beloved cats, who were like family to her. She had a heart of gold that was evident in every interaction with her, her beautiful smile could light up the darkest room. She touched the lives of all who crossed her path and they will forever carry the memory of her infectious laugh and loving nature.
