Andy Beartusk-Martinez

Our beloved son, brother, cousin, nephew, grandson, uncle left to be with our Lord way too soon.

Andy Paul Bear Tusk - Martinez “Randy” was born March 25th, 2011, in Billings MT, to Richard Paul Martinez Sr and Leota Lynn Bear Tusk – Martinez. The day he came home was a happy memory, he's the baby of the family/mama's boy. He was an enrolled member of the Crow tribe and also Northern Cheyenne and Cree and child of Ties the Bundle.

He attended Stella Brockman Elementary School in California. He participated in football there as a Riptide. Andy was a good student, coming home asking for help with homework.

Andy Paul enjoyed spending time with family and friends. He always wore a big smile that was contagious. He had the kindest heart; was very polite and respectful to everyone he met and knew. He enjoyed video games, basketball, watching movies, swimming with his siblings, going to car shows, going on walks with siblings, skateboarding, going out to eat, rough-housing, and he liked to do skincare to bond with his sisters. I remember as siblings always praying before bed, all of us siblings racing to give our mom the first kiss goodnight; it was a game we played and he always won. Andy enjoyed going to the YMCA to play basketball and hangout with cousins.

Kind, smarty, loving, protective, honest, humble, and such a charming soul. Although he left way too soon, we will always remember him this way, and honor him as he lives through us. God bless you Andy “Our Angel”. We love you and will miss you all of this life, Cub.
