Darryl Todd Martinez

Darryl Todd Martinez passed away far too soon on Tuesday, August 2, 2022, after a courageous battle with an aggressive form of lung cancer. He was 56 years young.

He was born to parents Leonard and Margaret Martinez on July 25, 1966 in Thomasville, NC. Todd is survived by his mother Margaret, his sister Donna, sister Diane, brother David, sister Carolyn, sister, Rhonda, and daughter Lee Ann McKinney (Jordan). He is also survived by his 3 “grand babies” Jolee, Conner and Cora.

He also leaves behind his beloved nephews Kevin, Kane and Michael Lee Martinez. Todd was preceded in death by his loving father Leonard Martinez and brother Lenny.

Todd’s love of music was evident. Music brought him comfort and provided what was needed at the time, whether it was a smile or a tear. He was rarely seen without a guitar.

He loved golfing, and had played at almost every course in the state. Somehow, he even found it entertaining to watch golf on TV. He also loved the sport of racing, and met many friends that became like family through his passion along the way.

The family will receive friends on Friday, August 5, 2022 from 6:00-8:00 pm at Pugh Funeral Home, 437 Sunset Avenue in Asheboro.  Funeral services will be held on Saturday, August  6, 2022 at 10:00 am at the Pugh Funeral Home Chapel with Pastor Eddie Thomas officiating.
