TURNING TRAGEDY INTO REMEMBRANCE

Parks all around the world are known for igniting emotions of hope, peace, and optimism. Two Hunters Park, a commemorative park honoring the lives of Mark Martinez and Joey Irwin of Firestone, Colorado is no exception.

The commemorative park, named for the two men’s love of hunting and fishing, was created and designed to turn the site of a devastating tragedy into a place of remembrance for the grieving family and their community after an explosion destroyed the Martinez’s family home in 2017.

After many conversations with Erin Martinez, the wife of Mark Martinez and sister to Joey Irwin, our design team set out to create a park that encourages visitors to share in the happy memories that Erin and her family enjoyed with Mark and Joey. What arose from those discussions was an impactful, detailed design that captures the memories of two lives well-lived.
