In Loving Memory of

MICHAEL VALERA MARTÍNEZ

March 15, 1993 - February 18, 2026

Michael Valera Martinez, born March 15, 1993, passed away on February 18, 2026.

Michael's presence brought light into every room, and he was known for his joy, warmth, and the kind of smile you did not just see, you felt. 

He had a way of making people feel welcomed, respected, and cared for, whether you knew him for years or only a few minutes.

Michael was naturally charismatic and deeply genuine. He did not try to be liked. He simply treated people well. He was a loyal friend who showed up, a devoted family member who protected and stood firm, and a man who gave without expecting anything in return.

He had a big heart, one of those that helps without expecting anything in return. He enjoyed life intensely, valued togetherness, and knew how to show love through actions. His essence was that of someone who lived with passion, who celebrated every achievement, and who always found reasons to be grateful.

Today, his memory lives on in every shared laugh, in every lesson, and in every beautiful moment he left behind.

He is survived by his father, Santiago Valera; his mother, Inocencia Martinez; his sisters Geraldyn, Yolainy, and Yaneisy Valera; his brothers Ivan and Ezequiel Valera; his beloved children, Michael Jr. and Maria; his devoted fiancée, Mikayla; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and dear friends.

Forever in our hearts.
