Teodulo Rudy Martinez February 17, 1933 - April 30, 2017

Teodulo Rudy Martinez, 84, of Royal City peacefully entered into eternal rest on March 30, 2017. Born in Del Rio, Texas on Feb. 17, 1933 Rudy was a true Texan, and was rarely seen without wearing one of his many cowboy hats and cowboy boots. A very quiet man with a big heart, he was always willing to help anyone in need and over the years opened his home to many of his acquaintances that needed a place to stay. He enjoyed fishing and spending time with his family.

He was preceded in death by his loving wife of 62 years, Isabel on Dec. 31, 2015 and survived by his five children Cande/Minerva Martinez of Royal City, Dorothy Butcher of Wasilla, Ted Jr. Martinez of Orting, Wash., Irene/Thaddeus Pfeiffer of Tacoma, Wash. and Melisa/Felipe Araujo of Othello, Wash., 13 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. The family would like to thank everyone for their condolences and prayers during this time.

There are no funeral plans at this time.
