William Deago Dean Martinez

In loving memory of William Deago Dean Martinez, affectionately known to many as Deago, who departed this world far too soon on March 15, 2026. Born on February 19, 2007, in Ontario, Oregon, Deago's life, though tragically cut short in a car accident, was filled with love, laughter, and cherished moments that will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew him. Deago was the beloved son of Lanae Lynn Perez and Corino Martinez, who raised him with strong values and an open heart. He was predeceased by his cherished family members Gavin Edison, Mandy Mayes, and Henry Martinez, who now welcome him into their loving embrace. Deago leaves behind his devoted spouse, Emma, who was not only his acquaintance and best friend but the love of his life and his soulmate. Their bond was one of true partnership and everlasting love, with Emma remaining his forever and his happily ever after. Deago's siblings, Jasmine Perez, Tilla Sanchez, and Corben Jax, as well as his grandparents, Brenda Carpenter and Frank Raney, will always remember his kind spirit and joyful presence. His family was the core of his world, and he extended his love to a broader circle, embracing friends from all walks of life and calling them family. Deago was known for his unforgettable bonfires, where he gathered with loved ones, creating memories and sharing laughter under the stars. A passionate soul, Deago found joy in the simple pleasures of life. He was an avid fisherman, often spending his days by the water, casting lines and finding peace in nature's embrace. Music was another passion that fueled his spirit, and he could often be found with his phone in hand, lost in the rhythm of his favorite tunes and games. Deago was a gentle giant, known for his kindness, generosity, and a heart as big as his smile. His laughter was infectious, and his love for others knew no bounds. He was a selfless individual, and even in passing, he continued to give back as an organ donor, helping six others find hope and healing. Deago was never one to desire riches; he found joy in the simplest of things, content with a twenty-dollar bill and a heart full of love. He was a protector, a man whose strength was matched only by his compassion. Whether with his beloved guns or his steadfast fists, Deago stood firm for what he believed in, always ready to lend a hand or a shoulder to lean on. His presence was a source of comfort and strength for many, and his legacy will live on in the lives of those he touched. A service to honor Deago's life will be held on March 21, 2026, at 8:30 PM, at a place dear to his heart, affectionately known as the "Kuna Cole Spot." Family and friends are invited to gather and celebrate the life of a remarkable young man who brought so much light and love into the world. As we remember Deago, let us carry forward his legacy of kindness, generosity, and unwavering love for family and friends. Rest in peace, dear Deago, knowing that your spirit will forever shine brightly in our hearts.
