Christopher Rylan Martinez

Christopher Rylan Martinez, 17, of Hutto, TX, passed away Wednesday, September 10, 2025.

Christopher grew up in Austin, TX, where he attended Oakhill Elementary and Small Middle School. His joyful spirit and playful nature were greatly enriched by the companionship of his beloved dog, Reggie. Though his best friend, his late cousin Jesse Deleon, is no longer with us, their bond remains a cherished memory in all our hearts.

A passionate young man, Christopher found joy in working out and spending time playing video games with his dad and brothers. His family fondly remembers his endearing nicknames—Pher Pher from his brother, and Pumpkin or Lovie from his loving mom. Those who knew him will remember not only his laughter but also the warmth of his heart.

Christopher was more than just a son and brother; he was also a dedicated employee at Goodwill, where his kindness and dedication earned him the title of Employee of the Month. He was known for his gentle soul and compassion towards others, always seeking ways to lend a helping hand to those in need. His presence touched the lives of many, and he will be profoundly missed by all who were fortunate enough to know him.

Christopher is survived by his loving parents, Christopher Martinez and Miranda Solis, and his adoring siblings: Michael Trevino, Dylan Solis, and Vincent Guerrero.
