Resident of Pittsburg, CA, born March 1, 1942, in Puente de Camotlan, Nayarit, Mexico to Martin and Josefina Robles Arias. Passed on Palm Sunday, March 24, 2024. A devoted husband to Josefina for 63 years. Beloved father to Armando, Martin "Drew" (deceased), Marta, Nicasio, Jorge, and Josephine Arias (Efrain Vasquez).  Survived by a large family of brothers and sisters, also by his loving grandchildren, Adrian, Andre, and Natalia, many nieces and nephews, many cousins, and friends.

He was the foundation and solid rock for the family. He loved spending time with his family at home, and at family gatherings, also going places with his dear brother Mario.

Martin enjoyed playing pool and watching sports, such as boxing, and was a Raiders, and A's fan. He also enjoyed fishing and being outdoors.  His love for the outdoors made sense for his career of 35 years doing landscaping and beautifying parks and was a member of the Local Labor Union 324.

He loved his animals, especially his dogs, and later his cats. In his younger years he loved horseback riding and being on his ranch with his horses and cattle.

Martin will always be known for being hardworking, caring, a quiet and good man, with a sense of humor, and a great smile. Martin is well loved and respected by all.
