The family of 31-year-old Henry Rosario Martinez, a poker fanatic from Puerto Rico, thought it would honor his sudden passing by having him embalmed and dressed up, and then sat at a poker table.
“I want him to be remembered as a happy person because he was always like that,” his mother Sonia stated. I mean, he doesn’t exactly look happy, although maybe he’s just wearing his best poker face.
Henry was sat at a table as friends and family not only played poker around him, but took pictures with him. The staff at Eternal Light Funeral Home in Barceloneta wasn’t freaked out by the request because they took it “as something normal,” and that’s only because “they have done these things in other parts of the world.”
