Miami remembers Felix Martinez - banker, Cuban prisoner, family man
Briefly

Felix Justino Martínez, who passed away at 90, was noted for his dynamic spirit and refusal to let health issues hold him back. After a successful 30-year career in banking, where he specialized in wealth management and mentoring, he became a family archivist, learning various technologies. Surrounded by loved ones and his favorite music, Martínez's later years were a testament to his lively approach to life, as his daughter highlighted his relentless pursuit of life's moments, even after multiple health challenges.
"As long as there were minutes left to squeeze more moments out of life, Felix Justino Martínez did not want to rest," his daughter Anne Vasquez wrote.
Martínez had specialized in trust, estate planning and private wealth management at Flagship Bank, Sun Bank, Bank of America-International and the international office of London bank Coutts & Company in Miami.
Felix became a mentor from the very beginning," Pages said. He'd follow Martinez to Coutts in the late-1990s.
He'd use that scooter to whisk him on errands to Publix and the UPS store. "Even then, he thought all the fuss about bed rest was unnecessary," Vasquez wrote.
