Nickolas Martinez

Age 18

Albuquerque, New Mexico

Talented golfer, football player and snowboarder

He was no stranger to the golf course, football field or snowboarding slope. The determined athlete and compassionate friend never lost sight of his family. He was a loving son, grandson, brother, friend and student at Rio Rancho High School and Great Academy.

His remarkable smile and positive attitude will always be remembered by his loved ones. His friend Brandon thanked him for believing in all his dreams.
