Martin Blea Jr. | Visit Guest Book
On November 15, 1993, Martin Sr. and Angie Blea were blessed with their son Martin Blea, Jr. (Blea-Baby Marty). For 17 years he brought great joy to his family and friends with his joyful spirit and loving heart. On May 21, 2011, he was called to be with his Heavenly Father, but his memories will always remain in the hearts of those who loved him, especially his family. Martin is survived by his parents, Martin Sr. and Angie Ramirez Blea both of Midland. He will always be "Baby Marty" to his three brothers, Michael David Torres of Midland, Zachery Blea and Justin Blea both of Washington State; and his two sisters, Raquel Torres and Linda Blea both of Midland. He was truly loved and spoiled by his paternal grandparents, Gilbert and Erlinda Blea of Midland, and maternal grandmother, Consuelo Ramirez of Hereford, Texas. Waiting for him in Heaven are his paternal grandfather Antonio Ramirez; his aunts and uncles George Ramirez, Juanita Ramirez, and Elva Ramirez. Blea was a tremendous achiever. His dreams and goals were many, but his main goal was to make people around him smile, and bring laughter and joy into their lives, which he truly accomplished. He was loved by all the people whom he touched. Blea was a junior with the MISD, but his great efforts in achieving brought his credits up to where he would have graduated earlier. His parents will he honored to receive his graduating certificate during a Friday ceremony. Blea had so many interest, among them welding. He had just completed a welding course through Midland College. In Blea's life there was never a dull moment. If he was not at his job at Casita Gerardo, he was out with his dad four- wheeling or helping dad clean the yard and pool, so he could jump in afterwards. He enjoyed sports, hanging around his church youth group, and the many, many friends he had. He truly enjoyed life, trying to learning everything. He left a great impression to all- his smile and craziness will always be remembered, but we know he will wait for us with his open arms and smiles when we see each other again, and what he had set out to do will be accomplished with his heavenly Father. Rosary will be held tonight at 7:00 p.m., Heavenly Gate Chapel. Funeral Mass will take place on Thursday, May 26, 2011, at 10:00 a.m., at San Miguel Arcangel Catholic Church, with Father Frank Chavez officiating. Interment will follow at Serenity Memorial Gardens. Arrangements were made with Heavenly Gate Funeral Home. Family messages and condolences may be emailed to: heavenlygate@suddenlinkmail.com.

Such a tragedy. My heart would surely break if it were to happen to my family. I can not begin to imagine the sorrow they all must be feeling. I pray that God will bring peace and comfort to all those who loved him.

My middle son is 17. Way too young to be gone. His poor family. They'll definitely be in my prayers.

WTD said the funeral procession stretched out for over 2 miles, the church was standing room only........................she said it was the hardest funeral she has EVER had to go too.............too young, way too soon.

I can just imagine how hard it was to go to that funeral. I lost a friend to suicide at 16 and it was extremely tough. Good news is the suspect turned himself in today!

And now I can hear my mom in my head. She always said: "There's so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us, that it hardly behooves any of us to talk about the rest of us."

Some mistakes are just worse than others. This is a total tragedy for everyone involved.

I feel for Stevo's family and pray that God give them the strength to get thru this; but I fall short on forgiving someone who 1) resorts to hitting women in the face during an argument, and 2) pulls out a gun and fires randomly into a crowd of people. Turning himself in is a step in the right direction and shows he at least has an inkling of what it takes to be a man - that real men answer for their actions. As sad as this tragedy is, maybe, just maybe, he will be able to reflect on how his attitude and irresponsible behavior were key in costing the life of someone everyone loved and learn how to become a real man because of it.

It will take time for him to learn how, just as it will take time to earn forgiveness.

Oh he knows...............but sometimes the deamons in your life take over. I pray for Steven to get past his, he will have plenty of time to think about it and work himself in jail. You can turn your life around, but you have to want it................

His son will never know him or his uncle..............that is sad.
