Martinez, Alejandro “Alex” Antonio

In Loving Memory of

Alejandro “Alex” Antonio Martinez

April 16, 1976 – February 21, 2025

It is with the heaviest hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Alejandro “Alex” Martinez. He spent his last days surrounded by family and friends, including his nephews Santiago, Aspen and Linden, his brother-in-law Sheldon and his best friends Kelly and Fernando. He departed peacefully at home alongside his loving mother, Graciela and sisters Aida and Ana Alejandrina on February 21, 2025.
Alex was deeply loved by everyone who got to know him. His work family at Viking Recycling were an integral part of his life as they shared many special moments both at work and outside of work. Prior to joining this team, he enjoyed a career as a dental technologist in the GTA.
He spent his life caring for everyone until his last breath. His passion for soccer and other sports was contagious and he leaves a legacy of his exceptional skill and ability to teach and mentor in his nephews Aspen, Linden and Santiago.
May his life be celebrated and honoured by all of us who were blessed to have loved him.
A Memorial Service will be held for Alex on Saturday March 1, 2025 from 3 – 5pm in the Magnolia Room of St. John’s Dixie Chapel (737 Dundas St. E., Mississauga).
Please park in the main parking lot by the entrance as there is very limited parking beside the chapel.
For those who are unable to attend, you may view the livestream of the memorial service through the following link: https://stjohnsdixie.com/cemetery/live-memorial/
In lieu of flowers, a donation in Alex’s name to the Second Kicks Charity would be greatly appreciated.

    Alex was a dear friend who showed nothing but kindness and love for the people he surrounded himself with. Always listening to you and remembering the small details that even you sometimes forgot. Whenever I was going to meet him I knew I would be walking into such an amazing energy and warmth, I’ll never forget that feeling. Alex, right on man! You will be very dearly missed, my brother.

    We are saddened to hear of Alex’s passing.

    We were grateful to have met Alex while Sheldon, Aida, and family lived down the hall from us on St Clair Ave West.

    Alex was always kind, friendly, and there for his friends and family – and you could see how much he loved them.

    We send our condolences to Sheldon, Aida, Aspen, Linden, as well as Alex’s lovely Mom and his sister and her family.

    You are all in our thoughts 🕊️

    Querida familia Martínez Chorro, desde lo más profundo de mi corazón me uno y les acompaño en este momento tan difícil. Aún me es increíble entender lo que ha pasado.

    En ocasiones no comprendemos porque la voluntad de Dios se ve de esta manera, sin embargo, estoy segura que estos meses a pesar del sufrimiento por la enfermedad, ustedes como familia estuvieron más unidos que nunca. Alejandro gozó de su vida, en estos años al lado de la mejor mamá, hermanas, sobrinos, cuñado y amigos.

    Les mando muchos abrazos, sepan que mis oraciones están con ustedes, les amo infinitamente y para siempre.

    Con amor. Rosmery Denisse, esposo e hijo.
