SEIU Texas Mourns the Loss of Union Brother Richard Martinez

SEIU Texas mourns the loss of one of our union brothers, Richard Martinez, who lost his battle with cancer on November 21st, at the age of forty-three.

Richard began working for the City of San Antonio in 2001, most recently as a Senior Police Service Agent with the San Antonio Police Department. Not only was Richard an exceptional city employee, he also served his country proudly in the United States Air Force.

As a leader in the city employees' union, SEIU Texas, he served as the Protective Service Representative on the Employee Management Committee, as well as being the SEIU Representative on the TMRS Advisory Board in Austin.

Richard was a loving husband and father, and is survived by his wife, Rose, and children, Cierra, Shae, Richard, and Derrick. Our thoughts and prayers are with Richard's family in their time of loss.
