On August 5, 2017 Joel went riding with the angels.
Joel was born July 10, 1967 to Albert and Helen Martinez.
While growing up in Salt Lake City, Joel raised hell, made us laugh, and lived life to the fullest. He worked hard and played even harder. He enjoyed riding his motorcycle, fishing, golfing, and bowling.
Joel was well known and could always make friends anywhere he went. He looked tough but was as soft as a teddy bear.
He is survived by his daughter; Chelsie Marie, son; Nick (Joelle) McNeal, grandkids; Roman and Geneva. His parents Albert and Christena, his sisters; Cheryl Gavid, Helene (Steven) LeFevre, Kim (Phil) Hansen, Dawn (Mike) Jones, brothers; David (Emily) Hunt, Noel (Nicole) Hunt and many nieces and nephews that loved him very much.
