Leonardo Ramalho Martins

Leonardo Ramalho Martins, 43, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, September 10, 2026, at UMass Memorial Medical Center – University Campus in Worcester.

Born and raised in Anápolis, Brazil, Leonardo was the beloved son of Pedro Roberto and Angela Maria (Passos) Martins. He began his elementary education in Anápolis before emigrating with his family to the United States in 1997. They settled in Framingham, where Leonardo continued his education and graduated from Keefe Technical High School, Class of 2001.

Following high school, Leonardo worked for TJX Companies, first as a customer service representative and later in expenses payable. Leonardo had always possessed a deep love for the outdoors, traveling, and being on the road. Eventually, he decided to change careers so that he could pursue a path that better reflected those passions. He began working as a truck driver for Core & Main Construction in Worcester, where he worked for the last several years. He truly enjoyed the freedom of being on the road and spending his days outdoors.

In 2018, Leonardo met the love of his life, Dyanna Wolfe, while they were both working at TJX. They began as friends and, within a few short months, their friendship blossomed into a loving relationship. On October 4, 2020, they became engaged, and on July 21, 2021, they were married in New Hampshire. Together, they settled in Westborough, where they built their home and raised their family.

Leonardo will be deeply missed by his beloved wife, Dyanna (Wolfe) Martins of Westborough. He was a devoted father to all of his cherished children, Leonardo Martins Jr. of Fort Hood, Texas, and Vyvienne Dexter, August Dexter, and Lukas Martins, all of Westborough. He was a cherished and dedicated son to his parents, Pedro Roberto and Angela Maria Martins of Westborough; and his sister, Anna Carolina Batista of Brazil and her spouse and children. He also leaves several extended family members and countless beloved friends.

Leonardo enjoyed life and made the most of time he spent with the people he loved. He enjoyed riding his prized Indian motorcycle, going to the beach, taking day trips to Boston, spending time in the city, and traveling. One of his most memorable adventures was his trip to Iceland with Dyanna. He was a loyal New England Patriots football fan and a devoted São Paulo soccer fan. Above all, Leonardo cherished spending time with his family and creating lasting memories with those closest to him.

In accordance with Leonardo's wishes, all services will be held privately.
