1949 - 2005 
 
Martin Candia, Jr. 
November 30, 1949 - May 31, 2005 

Martin Candia, Jr. was born in Bakersfield on November 30, 1949, to Martin Sr. 
and Manuela Candia, and passed away on May 31, 2005. Martin was a proud 
Vietnam vet who never missed marching in the annual Veterans Day Parade with 
his comrades in arm. He loved the freedom that came with riding Harleys with 
his brothers. He enjoyed his job with the Bakersfield City School District, 
where he worked as maintenance supervisor at the time of his passing. He 
considered most of his co-workers as good, personal friends, or as family. 
More often than not, you could always find Martin on the weekends in his 
backyard, barbequing for his family and friends, playing his music, laughing 
and having a great time. When football season came around, look out if you 
werent a Rams fan! His family and friends meant the world to him, and was 
always there to lend a helping hand. Martin married the love of his life, 
Jackie, a mere 7 months ago. Martin and Jackie celebrated their short time 
together with great love and happiness. Their marriage was a perfect union. 
Martin is preceded in death by his parents and a sister, Yolanda Candia. He is 
survived by his wife, Jackie; his children, Joey Candia, Tommy Candia, Jill 
Candia and Martin Candia III; 2 grandchildren, Nicholas Candia and Taylor 
Candia; his brothers, Alex, Tony, David, and their wives; his sisters, Lilly, 
Martha, Lupe, Lorenza, Nellie, Mary, Alice and their husbands; and numerous 
nephews, nieces and cousins. Martin will be greatly missed. His smile, 
laughter and kind and gentle ways will long be rememberd. Rest in peace, my 
love! Pallbearers will be his brothers, Alex, Tony and David, brother-in-law, 
Humphrey, sons, Joey, Tommy, and Martin Jr., and nephew, Jeffrey Gonzales. 
Honorary pallbearers are Bob, Vincent, Anthony and Robert Armendariz.
