Cristobal Faust Martinez

Cristobal Faust Martinez of Albuquerque, NM passed away on September 21st, 2026, at home, surrounded by love and family. He was born on July 8th, 2026, to Mom and Dad, Jessica Garcia and Norman Martinez. He was his mother's "Stinky Cheese Man," and his father's "Papa Frites," and both of their Hearts. As the only baby boy in his NICU room, he enjoyed all his nurses' attention, even during his temperature checks. He was a strong-spirited little boy, never liking his blankets or pillows, and only wanting mom and dad holding his feet.

Cristobal is survived by Mom and Dad, Jessica and Norman of Espanola, NM; brother, Matthias; Grandmas, Anna, Esperanza, Tisha, and Maribel; Grandpa, Norman; Tios, Andy and Orlando; Tias, Dominique, Barbara, Mary, and Maria; and Nina Molly. As well as many of his cousins, Great Aunts, Uncles, Great-Grandpo Herbert and Granny Phoebe.

Cristobal was preceded in death by Grandpo Jesse, Great-Grandma Ruby, and Tia Roxanne.

Funeral Services will be held Monday, October 5th, 2026, 10:00 a.m., at FRENCH - University.

We would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to the UNMH NICU department as well as the UNMH Mariposa Program. The clinical skills and compassion you all have has given Cristobal and his family our most precious memories. Thank you.
