Funeral services were held April 14, 2026, at First Baptist Church of Memphis with Rev. Lance Wood and Shannon Moreland officiating. Burial followed in Fairview Cemetery in Memphis.

Miky was born November 6, 1985, in Raymondville, Texas, to Sylvia Sommers and Frank Martinez.
Miky grew up spending time with his brothers and cousins, where sports were a big part of his life and many of his best memories were made. Those years helped shape his competitive spirit and love for the game. He was proud to be a Memphis High School Cyclone and would tell anyone who would listen that he was the best Cyclone to ever go through there.

Miky married Jennifer Wiggins on December 15, 2012, but he always made sure people knew that had really been together for 22 years. He was the proud and devoted dad to his three girls, Adlee, Landree, and Kodee. Being their dad was his greatest accomplishment, and he loved them more than anything.

He loved playing golf every chance he got and was a dedicated Texas Longhorns fan who got completely fired up cheering them on. Whether he was watching a game or out on the golf course, he brought energy, excitement, and plenty of opinions.
Miky dedicated a huge part of his life to Driver. He truly loved his job and the people he worked with. He took pride in what he did, and according to him, he was the best truck driver and heavy equipment operator out there. His work meant a lot to him, and he gave it everything he had.

Miky had a strong personality and kept everyone on their toes, but the people closest to him knew how big his heart truly was. He fought cancer with everything he had until the very end. Even though his illness was short, he showed how strong and courageous he was.

Miky will be deeply missed by his wife, Jennifer, his daughters Adlee, Landree and Kodee of the home, his parents Sylvia and John Sommers of Sherman, Texas, Frank and Maria Luisa Martinez of Raymondville, Texas, his siblings, Joey Salinas wife Josie, Artie Martinez wife Brittany, PJ Martinez wife Angela, Yesenia Martinez, Yanessa Martinez, Yonni Martinez, and Yoel Martinez, numerous nieces and nephews and countless family members and friends who loved him dearly.
