Joe Arpaio’s Victim Marty Atencio’s (Latino Veteran) Obituary, with Funeral Service Schedule

by on Dec. 28, 2011, under 2012 Presidential elections, Mike Stauffer for Sheriff to Replace Joe Arpaio

I will be attending this and I hope you will, too.

From Stephen Lemons from the Phoenix New Times:

Marty has touched many lives throughout the community and will be forever loved and missed by his family, friends and acquaintances. Marty is survived by his parents Rosemary and Joe Atencio; children Joshua, Joseph and Marty Atencio; brothers Mike E. wife Michelle and Eric J. wife Heather Atencio, sister Abigail Atencio; 4 nieces, 4 nephews, 3 aunts, 5 uncles and many cousins.

A gathering for family and friends will be held on Tuesday, January 3, 2012 from 5 to 8 pm at Heritage Funeral Chapel 6830 W Thunderbird Rd., Peoria, AZ 85381. Funeral service will be held on Wednesday, January 4, 2012 at 9 am at the mortuary. Graveside service with full military honors will follow at 11 am at the National Memorial Cemetery of AZ 23029 N Cave Creek Rd., Phoenix, AZ.

How blessed is the tie that binds our hearts in lasting love, the comradeship of kindred minds is like to that above, so when at last we have to part in sorrow and in pain we know we still are joined in heart until we meet again.
