Martin Lujan Jr's Obituary
In Loving Memory of Martin Lujan Jr.
Martin Lujan Jr., a proud U.S. Army veteran, skilled journeyman carpenter, and devoted father, passed away leaving behind a legacy built on service, strength, and unconditional love. He was a man who measured twice and gave his all—whether in defense of his nation or in the quiet moments of fatherhood.
With 57 years devoted to the art of carpentry, Martin transformed timber into timelessness. His work was more than construction; it was poetry in wood, each piece bearing his signature patience and precision. Generations of homes, handrails, and hearts were shaped by his steady hands.
Before he built with wood, he served with honor—answering the call of duty as a member of the U.S. Army. He carried those values through every phase of life: discipline, courage, and a quiet pride that never sought recognition, but always earned respect.
Yet of all his roles, “Dad” was his most cherished title. Martin’s love was steady as oak, his laughter warm as summer sawdust, and his guidance carved deep into the lives he touched. Whether teaching his children the grain of a good board or the value of a good name, his legacy lives on in those who had the privilege to know and love him.
He is survived by his loving family who will carry his spirit forward with pride, humility, and the kind of strength that only comes from being loved by a man like Martin Lujan Jr.
