The late Dylan Martinez, a beloved young resident of Hesperia, tragically lost his life on June 10, 2024, at the age of 14. Dylan’s life was cut short while he was riding his dirt bike, a passion he held dear. He was set to attend Oak Hills High School as a freshman in the upcoming school year.
A GoFundMe campaign, organized by Tracy Grijalva, has been established to support Dylan’s family with funeral expenses and other related costs. As of today, the fundraiser has raised $700 of its $15,000 goal, with contributions from anonymous donors and individuals like Todd Espindola, who donated $500.
Merri Ronquillo expressed her sorrow on Facebook, stating, "My Dyl-Pickle will be missed by so many. He was such a shining light and an example of a good, kind loving young man. I also have Zelle information to send $ directly to the family if (like me) you are more comfortable with that, let me know."
Dylan was known for his kindness and the ability to make friends wherever he went. His premature departure has left a void in the hearts of those who knew him. The community is rallying around the Martinez family during this difficult time, showing their support through donations and heartfelt messages.
The GoFundMe page highlights Dylan’s impact on those around him, noting that he was "loved by all who knew him" and had "a bright future waiting for him." The campaign aims to ease the financial burden on his family as they navigate this period of immense grief.
Please consider donating if you are able, and know that every contribution is greatly appreciated by Dylan’s family.
