Martin Miranda

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Martin Miranda Cervantes, 72, of Wapato, who departed this life on August 16th, 2024. Born on November 11, 1951, in Veracruz, Martin displayed a spirit of warmth and kindness from a young age—qualities that would shape his extraordinary legacy. Martin found his soulmate in Maria Miranda, and together they crafted a loving family filled with treasured memories and shared happiness. They took pride in their two sons, Martin Jr. and Mario, who carry forward the values and love that their father instilled in them. A truly kind and generous individual, Martin was always eager to help those in need. His exceptional ability to spark conversations made him a cherished presence, allowing him to connect with people from all backgrounds. His laughter was contagious, and his genuine interest in others left a lasting impact on everyone he met. Martin cherished moments spent with his family, enjoying the outdoors while tending to his yard, caring for his beloved dogs, and fishing activities that brought him great joy and allowed him to share his passions with loved ones. Martin is survived by his devoted wife, Maria Miranda (Valencia); his two sons, Martin Miranda Jr. and his girlfriend Lauren Morales, along with their daughters Emme, Averie, Ava, and son Noah; and son Mario Miranda, who, together with his wife Monica Miranda (Guzman), their daughter Malia and sons Matthew and Marcus.

He is preceded in death by his beloved mother, Carmen Cervantes; his father, Reymundo Miranda; his sister, Lorensa Miranda; his son, Fernando Miranda; and his grandson, Eden Matheu Miranda, who welcomed him warmly in the afterlife.
