In our hearts we all know you would not have fled the scene. We all miss you and love you, always. I grew up looking up to you….and I still do. You had a heart of gold, like no one else. You put the needs of others before you’re own. In my heart you will always be a hero. We all love you so, so much. I know you’re in a better place, with family. One day we will see you again. Love you always, your cousin.
if he didn’t flee the scene then why did he leave and not stay there until the police arrived.
I had just met Seul at Ingram Micro and we hit it off right away. (fast friends!) When I heard about his death today i was very upset as well as the other men he worked with at Ingram. I will never forget him. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family. God Bless!

Seul You look so Happy last friday night, that I just can not believe what happened. Thank you for being there for my family. I will always remember you as a fun, respectful and intelligent man. You are with the Lord now. Rest in Peace.
Seul, You will always be remembered as the brave man that saved so many lives, while putting your own at risk. Like the many other brave men and women that chose a selfless career as a firefighter, you will be missed, but never forgotten. Heaven must have needed more Angels to look out for the rest of us, and especially those like my beloved son that also chose a unique career. He is a world away, risking his life every day for his country. Every time I see a pair of gloves, I cannot keep from laughing, remembering your joke.
Ok, if he did not rear end someone and flee, then what is the real story? Someone should speak up for the man and tell what actually happened.
Seul was my friend. I will miss him.
I was there, he did flee, I saw the car he hit & left & I saw the boulder he hit a lot further down the road. it was obvious he was not stopping
No one knows, accidents happen so fast he could been looking down for a second and the person turning so quick in those dangerous streets you know life is not perfect I don’t know the man but I sure have the need to pray I know every one is sufering the lost has been one short life and who are we to juge hope fully the person with the injuries heals and Our Heavenly Fathers helps the other family’s hurting hearts Amen.
You were a genuine, caring, and loving man. May you rest in peace and may God give your parents the courage they need to continue without you. You will be greatly missed and each one of us was blessed to have had you in our lives. Love you always.
I wonder what made him decide to run? By the comments I see here, he does not sound like the type of guy who would do that. Something does not add up…
probally did not want to get in trouble, face the consequences, pay for damages, maybe he was drinking. that would be my guess
I know that if he had just stopped after he hit the car he WOULD still be alive. him leaving/fleeing the sceen was no accident.
yep, DUI was my first guess too. the original accident, the fleeing, and then wrecking further down the road kind of all points that way…
No matter how many times I read this report.. I can’t imagine how you felt as it occurred….. god knows you were always willing to help others.in time of need . This was so out of your character. I wish I would have been able to keep you with us always . You were very loving and sympathetic person. And while others may judge. Your actions .. I am blessed to know this was not who you were….at all… ever since you were a little fun loving lil boy .you were always willing to pick up strays andmend animals back to life. I suppose that’s where your love for becoming a firefighter came about…well all in all I wish you could read this and still be among your loving family…may others be as lucky to have someone as special s you in their lives…..missing u
I believe that in this life we are here. To live and let live because if we don’t , we will never grow as individuals and we will not be able to improve and learn lifes true lessons… so. Teri even though I understand you were on site. Please keep in mind when you judge that you can never know what a person is really going through or the decisions that they make for to have the authority to judge an individual you nust first have had your share in their shoes. .so please. Place yourselves in his mother shoes and just say, wow! May god keep him safe… thank you
Excuse me…….Teri….and anyone and everyone else. Keep your comments to yourself! Im family and I don’t care for your thoughts or comments. Dui?! Did you know he was drunk? Or are you assuming?
People are so quick to assume and pass judegement…..as if anyone needs your wasted time writing a comment. THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK. Ignorance seems to rob people of common sense, empathy/sympathy and good character. All of the things he had, which made him not only a great person but a hero to many. I am proud and blessed to have had you in my life. Then, now and always. I love you…….no matter what….time can never change how loved you are. We will be reunited with you again. Your loving family.
Sounds like the dude got what he had coming. My condelences to the victim this jerk injured in the first wreck. I would bet dead guy was drunk.
I REPEAT… “probably did not want to get in trouble, face the consequences, pay for damages, “MAYBE” he was drinking. that would be “MY GUESS”
I have been in his shoes did the exact same thing at the exact same place, for the exact same reason. only difference was I first went to the other van that I hit head on with my van, to ask if he was ok. he was, Then I split on foot left my van, cash, id there. that was 15 years ago. I since learned so often life
can be lost so easily in just seconds of STUPID acts. See now if he had not hit that rock he would have patted himself on the back for getting out of it. I could never just leave with out at least helping people that I may have
just injured. If I thought I had caused even worse, I would drove head-on into a boulder myself.
I have got to say, atleast for once no innocent victim, thank god his reckless, selfish behavior did not kill anyone else. and he won’t be able to hurt anyone. CARMA at it’s finest!!!!!
I could not have said it better “joe mamma” stra8up. I was just tring to be considerate, more immportantly, maybe a leason learned at this guys expense. maybe someone will think twice. AND if this guy is/was all that people say. Doesn’t it make since that he would want that too?????
I can’t believe that anyone would say such harmfull things to the family direct even knowing his stepdaughters visit this site. Have a heart, show that you are an adult Teri and learn to spell Karma……obviously you are not a well rounded and intelligent individual. Plus…..you were not an eye witness for the police. You would know there were no serious injuries. Thank you for showing yourself and ” joe mama/Teri” as an uneducated person. Again, thank you for deliberately trying to hurt our families. You are so very “special” and Karma is also for those evil people like you.
By the way…..if you were ” in the same shoes” you are not a hero and this site aninformation is not about being a hateful person. Nobody cares about you. Life is not and does not revolve around you.
Too bad it wasn’t a lesson learned by people driving a mini van drunk that hit head on at another mini van.
Drunk driving is drunk driving. Stoping to help and running away? Im not sure how that makes it less of a drunk driver? Would we have been right to wish bad on all drunk drivers and hoped the mini van drunk driver not live to run away like a coward? Life is not about wishing bad on others. If a person is full of evil thoughts and hate does that not make the person evil and less worthy of living life? An angry mind full of angry thoughts is a spoiled heart and poisoned soul.
My condolences to Mr. Martinez’s family and I hope that the person he rear-ended makes a speedy recovery. I really wish that Mr. Martinez had stayed at the scene after the collision. If he had, then this would be a non-story, he would still be alive, and his family would not have to defend his reputation.
Me too “JB”
Hmmmmm, there are too many details and too many pieces to the puzzle missing to make assumptions at this point. Many times what we see and what is the truth could surprise us. There is much information that is still unaddressed. Not to mention what this man
Wow! Joe Mamma and Teri…your hateful and hurtful comments demonstrate your lack of respect and compassion for those who are in pain. No one knows why things happened the way they did. His entire life was lived with one purpose, to help others. He was a fireman who selfishly helped many. You are intensionally causing pain to those who are already experiencing one of the worst things anyone can go through. Yes, Karma does exist and may you remember that you were unkind if God forbid you are ever in a situation like this. No one again knows what was going on, but out of common COURTESY and RESPECT keep you comments to yourself. He was the only one hurt in this. It’s a shame that Joe Mamma and Teri feel the need to be so hateful. Your character is lacking much…hope you don’t have children who perpetuate this sort of behavior in the world.
Agreed, intentionally hurtful comments are not needed. I can see how family can take offense at people judging Mr. Martinez’s actions, but I admit that I am also scratching my head wondering what good reason someone, a fireman no less, would have for leaving the scene of an accident. Based on what I have read, his past behavior and personality conflicts with doing such a thing. I guess we just don’t know people as well as we think we do.
What is all this about “mini vans?” They were both full-size vans. Perfect example of how people can read into something incorrectly.
I never ment to hurt anyones feelings. I don’t see were anything I said would.
I agree with you “JB”
This man saved many lives and he will be missed deeply and he will rewarded in the afterlife. His mother and daughters were blessed to have such a wonderful person as a part of their lives! A hero he will always be!!!! And no one has the right to judge him, because no one truely knew what turmoil he was in. You are free now my friend, may you Rest In Peace!
Seul, my old friend you deserve better than this. I know why you did it. And I know you didn
To all those judging teri for the DUI comment she made ….. Please visit the attached web page
http:www.localcrimenews.com/lookup.php?jid=5640178
This info is made public. Mr. Martinez was in fact driving under the influence and it is stated that it was a hit and run.
I am not on nobodys side. A human life is a human life. Mr. Martinez did not deserve what happened to him. An accident is an accident, however there were laws broken. The broken laws should have been paid for at a court of law not with his life.
To the family, …. My heart goes out to you. No one wants to see our loved one be judge this way and I do understand the love you have for him. However let just say you dont know what happened, you dont know what his state of mind was like at the time. True facts speak for themselves, like it is in this case. But you the family is not at fault. And no matter what the case was, he was your family member, a good husband, step-fater, son, brother, brother in law ….. and nothing or no one is going to take that from you. He was a good guy …. the person who knows what really happened, which is god, should be the only one judging.
So don’t worry about what anyone here has to say. Live you life, keep Mr. Martinez in your thoughts and prayers and if I were you, I’d stay away from sites like this.
I can tell you from my own experience, …. people will talk, say all kinds of things, fill your mind with lies and doubts that don’t matter anymore. …. Why? who knows, I think people who are not happy, what to see other un happy as well.
Comment by: Guest “I am not on nobodys side.”???
whether or not this man saved any ones life (was paid for it)….. his true colors showed through his actions… bottom line he was all about himself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mi primo Seul fue buena persona y si cometio un error o delito como quieran llamarlo ya lo pago con su vida.
Tio Cele y Mary los esperamos aqui en Tijuana.
Saludos y Abrazos
Paty
to Paty (Tijuana) YOU GET IT!!
thank you… for your message. my heart goes out to YOU for your loss.
Teri,
Do us all a favor and leave. Stop offending us all with your ignorance and hatefulness. Whatever happened is not really known. You are a very ignorant person. May he rest in peace.
what does the “E” stand for EMPTY HEADED?
My condolences to the family. I drive this route to work everyday and coming home on Tuesday witnessed the sad sight of some young ladies placing the funeral flowers at the scene. Very sad.
THANK GOD HE DID NOT AND CAN NOT ANY MORE TAKE ANYONE WITH HIM!!!!!!! ONE LESS SELF CENTERED DRUNK OFF THE STREETS.. WE ALL OUGHT TO BE CELEBRATING THAT HE CAN NOT HARM ANY MORE INNOCENT PEOPLE.
Lastima que aun estes tu aqui en la tierra con esa boca sin cerebro solo demostrando lo peor de ti.
Espero que tu o algun familiar tuyo haga lo mismo que estas criticando!
Lo mejor esque todo se paga en esta vida y esto que tu estas haciendo lo pagaras, recuerda que la vida da muchas vueltas y nunca sabemos lo que nos pueda pasar o podamos hacer. Todos cometemos errores no lo olvides.
” Quien este libre de pecado que arroje la primera piedra”
Gracias paty. Bien dicho
To the other half of the family you should all be ashamed if what you are all doing to hurt his wife and his daughters you guys all seemed like such good people but unfortunately his death showed your guys true colors
how? who? you talking about terri? cause terri really doesnt know jack
R.I.P.
I am so tired of everyone making accusations and placing blame for Seul’s death. It was a tragedy that his life ended in such a violent way. Instead of remembering the special times and memories each family member shared or spent with him, individuals, are trying to be very malicious and vindictive towards his family in Perris. I don’t think that Seul would be very pleased with how immature and mean some of you family members are handling this devastating loss. You should deal with your grief differently instead of trying to blame others for choices which he consciously made. Let us not forget that Seul was an adult and he was with his family in Perris because he wanted to be there and he loved them. At the end of the day, being vindictive and full of bitterness is not going to bring him back and is not going to bring about any good. I don’t think Seul would want any family members to honor his memory in this way. I am very disgusted with how certain family members are behaving and you should all pray to God that he heal Seul’s soul and that he rest in peace until we all meet again. Remember in this lifetime we all have to pay for our wrong doings and we are not God nor should we try and take matters into our own hands as if we were. Let everyone grieve in their own way and stop with the ridiculous antics!!!! Rest in peace Seul. I know you would not want any of your family members on either side to be behaving in this way.
Once again
I would not be so sure of that. Come judgment day, I would not want to be meeting my maker with what his last act was. No sir-ee,
“Trust me Seul knows what
Terri, why are you so upset and personal? Let the family grieve. If the man was under the influence its still a horrible loss. He had family regardless of where they lived or what side of the family. How do you think his poor widow and kids would feel if they read this. Its not fair to be mean to the family. Im sure everyone is feeling the loss. I also didn’t see how family members were being mean to his family in Perris on here. I suppose there were a few posts missing. I suggest ALL sides of the family not reply or view this site. Its obvious tha emotions are still high. Again, my condolences to all his family. Remember everyone is hurting and I am sure the families are not placing blame anywhere considering it was an accident. Sometimes people mourning they need someone to blame…..but when the grieving process is over……they can let go. So all family, let eachother grieve and all be kind. There isno greater loss than the loss of a child. Much like Mary lost Jesus……remember that he too is with God. God bless the family.
I don’t understand where you think I am upset & personal. I am a little annoyed that after this person did such a dispicable selfish dead, people are comending him as a hero. as far as “personal” it is all over, nothing personal about that. I MEAN WHAT IF IT WAS YOUR “FAMILY MEMBER THAT WAS KILLED????????? you would be singing another tune. there is no if he was under the influence. It has been prove he was. BUT even if he was not HE STILL selfishly, left (when there was injuries) the scene of the accident that he caused. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT WHEN HE CHOOSE TO DRINK & THEN GET BEHIND THE WHEEL. THEN EVEN MORE SO AFTER THE SO CALLED “ACCIDENT” what really “upsets” me, is that he left, he left knowing what he had done. and in his selfish, reckless effort to save his own hide from a DUI, he out of all people should have NOT FEED, but rendered fist aid to who he had done this to. BUT NO…. it was more important to save his own ass over what ever he had cause to someone else. I really cannot think of any act more dispicable then him leaving. out of all that was suppose to be & could have done, that really does “upset” only thing that “upsets” me worse is reading people writing about how it was not what is was!!!!!!!
just rember everything i hve ever said was just to prevent that it won’t be your loved one next. and if only it could be the perpotator who’s lif is lost every time this happens. BOTTOM LINE there is so many things wrong with this mans actions, beyond the typical drunk driver
error he should have not FLED
RENDERED FIRST AID
out of all that he was suppose to be & could have done
Well ma’am…….I understand you drove drunk too……but his family is not on here condemning you. I understand your cause and I have had a loss in mt life due to drunk driving, but im a God fearing man and I know the word of God says to forgive and so with an open heart, clear mind and a soul full of the Lords love I do what he asks and I never question what he asks of me. I do understand what you are saying. Its important for people to think and not hurt others….wether driving drunk or just speaking harsh. We are all brothers and sisters born into this world out of Gods choice….all his children. Its my belief we should all treat wlecgotger with love. Let’s not forget we have greater concerns…..including as the bible says…..a third world war…..maybe a by North Korea or a natural dissaster. Our days are numbered….so let’s keep that in mind and just have love and peace and know that will make the Lord happy. God Bless to all my brothers and sisters…..everyone on earth is my brother and sister and I have equal love for everyone.
ok, but what does that have to do the the price of tea in china?
