Hastings Reminder - Tuesday, May 27, 2003

Clarksville- Airman First Class A. Ira Martinez, age 21, of Clarksville, 
passed away Suddenly on Monday, May 19, 2003 from injuries sustained in an 
automobile accident in Germany where he was serving in the U.S. Air Force.

Ira was focused on his education and graduated in the top 10 of his class in 
2000. He was proud to have attended the University of Michigan for one years 
prior to his enlistment in the Air Force.

Sports and physical fitness were very important to Ira. All of the things he 
had accomplished and were involved with were part of Ira's plan to 
eventually be an Air Force pilot.

Ira is survived by his parents, Antonio and Jane Martinez, Jr. of Saranac; 
his brothers and sisters, Ryan and Amy Martinez of Ionia, Renee and Joe 
Loveland of Arlington, TX, Joshua Martinez of Saranac, and Cassie Martinez 
of Saranac; grandparents, Jean Fahrni of  Lowell, and Antonio and Marcella 
Martinez, Sr., of Grand Rapids; nieces and nephews, Gregory, Tori, Brandon, 
and Cora; and many loving aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

He was preceded in death by his grandfather, Christian Fahrni, Jr., Uncle 
Terry Martinez; and nephew, Tyler.

There will be no funeral home visitation.

The funeral service will be held at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, May 28 at the Koops 
Funeral Chapel in Lake Odessa. Burial with full military honors will follow 
at South Boston Cemetery.

Because of Ira's love for education, the family has suggested that memorial 
contributions may be made to the scholarship fund of Lakewood High School.
