“And think of him as living in the hearts of those he touched…. for nothing loved is ever lost and he was loved so much.” His Journeys Just Begun by Ellen Brenneman.

Terence “Scotty” Martinez, 57 of Brighton Township, passed away on Saturday, January 25, 2020 at Brighton Rehab and Wellness Center.

He was born on July 19, 1962 in Rochester, PA to the late Terence and Carol Martinez from Center Township.

He is survived by one brother, Charles (Pam) Martinez of Belvedere, New Jersey, one sister, Martha (Bill) Myers of Monaca, his nephews; Jacob (Molly) Martinez of New Jersey, and William Myers of Monaca, his nieces, Sara (Rick) Rogers of New Jersey, Elizabeth Martinez of New York City, and Danielle Martinez of Washington, DC and great niece, Lucy Martinez of New Jersey.

Scotty resided in a group home run by HAP Enterprises for over 25 years. Martha Myers would like to give a special thanks to all the caregivers who loved him as their own over the years. Extra special gratitude is sent to the angels who spent many hours as his companion in the last nine months of his life, Debra Penney, Gina Viccari-Krebs, Gia Krebs, Rileigh Krebs, and Julie Zubak.

Scotty never met a stranger and made friends everywhere he went. In his spare time, he enjoyed Reader’s Digest Magazines and pointing to his chin, nose, mouth and elbows. Scotty had the most engaging smile and spread joy to every person he crossed paths with. His smile and joyful personality will be missed dearly.

A Celebration of Life for Scotty will be held on Saturday, February 22, 2020 from 11:00 am until the time of service at 12:00 pm in the Simpson Funeral & Cremation Services, 1119 Washington Avenue, Monaca.

I am sorry for your loss. Thank you for posting such a beautiful video of Scotty. I am a HAP employee and although I never had pleasure and privilege to work in Scotty's house; I did get to know him at the day program here and there over the years. He was a lot of fun and always had a smile for everyone. This is kind of a funny story- a few years ago over a period of a about two weeks, every Dr that I had an appointment with, there was Scotty in the waiting room too! Lol. I think one time in 15 years I have run into a HAP client while I'm at an appointment, but three times?? He zipped out of his chair and greeted me right away every time. He really was such a joyful person.

Early on a summer morning, fifty some summers ago, I've the fond memory of being vigorously awakened by Scotty, it was time to get up. Peace my cousin. Bob Bianchi
