Joseph A. Martinez

Pavilion - Joseph A. Martinez, 23 of Pavilion passed away on Sunday (June 14, 2026) in Stafford as a result of injuries sustained in an automobile accident.

Joseph was born January 18, 2003 in Batavia, a son of Jose (Kristin) Martinez, Jr. of Englewood, Florida and Michelle (Timothy) Crawford of Batavia.

Joseph was a handsome young man with a kind heart, a beautiful soul, and a bright smile that could light up any room. He loved his family and friends deeply, cherished his dogs and all animals, enjoyed country life, video games, and had a passion for creating and sharing music. Joseph had a way of making everyone feel welcome, and he was loved by all who had the privilege of knowing him. Taken from us far too soon, he leaves behind a hole in our hearts that can never be filled and countless dreams and opportunities that should have been his to pursue. He will be deeply missed every day, but his memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved him, and he will never be forgotten.

Along with his parents, Joseph is survived by his siblings, Jose Martinez III, of Venice, Florida, Marissa Dispenza of Quincy, Massachusetts and Amber Perhson of Rochester; step-siblings, Tristen, Brandon, Jayden, MaKenna, and Colson Crawford all of Batavia, Andrew Marra of Clarence, and Nicholas Marra of Florida; maternal grandmother, Josephine Penkszyk-Taylor of Batavia. Joseph is also survived by his beloved dogs, Greggy and Bruce.

Joseph is reunited in death with his paternal grandparents, Jose Sr. and Elizabeth Martinez; and maternal grandfather, Robert Talbot.
