Martiriano Lua Manzo

In Loving Memory of Martiriano Lua Manzo, born in Michoacan Mexico

Martin passed away peacefully on September 29, 2026 at 4:59am., leaving behind a legacy of his love for cooking and a love that exceeded his time here on Earth. Martin lived most of his life in the Cutler and Orosi area since the 1970's. Martin was a very hard working man dedicated to his job in the agriculture industry for 52 years. Martin was a gift to everyone who knew him. His presence had a way of lighting up every room he entered, and his gentle spirit was felt by many. People were naturally drawn to his warmth and his delicious carnitas. To know Martiriano was to know pure joy. Though his time with us was far too short; the impact he made is lasting and profound. Martiriano possessed a gift for cooking that could put a huge smile on anyone who ate his yummy cooking. He had a soul that radiated kindness and courage. He taught those around him the true meaning of unconditional love. Martiriano is deeply missed by his Wife, his Siblings, Nieces, Nephews, and all of his God-Children (whom are many) who forever were changed by his life.

Martiriano is preceded in death by his father Santos Lua, and his mother Otilia Manzo. He is survived by his wife, Elena Granados De Lua. He is predeceased by three of his siblings, Estella Lua, Jorge Lua and Santos Lua Jr. He is survived by his siblings: Silviano Lua, Flora Garcia, Juan Lua, Elio Lua, Yolanda Mendoza, Dalia Lupian, Adalberto Lua, Jesusita Hernandez, Mercedes Hernandez, and Ermilo Lua.
