Happy Birthday Martin! Thinking of you today and everyday and giggling about all the comments we would have been teasing you with on your 50th! I know how handsome you would have looked. Mason had homecoming tonight but we got our memories and laughs in earlier today. Loved you then, still and always. Miss you so much. Be nice to me on my 50th!

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. Words can not explain how much you are missed by so many!

Happy Birthday my love. It doesn't seem like 5 years has come & gone without you. The kids are growing fast & I feel blessed to have the best part of you with me everyday. My love for you will never fade. It's constant in their smiles. Today we will celebrate you, like we do every year. You will never be forgotten. Until we are together again - I'm sending you hugs & kisses to heaven.

You've been gone five years now. We all miss you so much. You left behind some very outstanding children and they are walking in your cowboy boots, they got so much of you in them. I thank God everyday that they have such a great Mom that is there for them I just wish they would have gotten to know how great of a Dad you were for themselves. Not to worry Marty you know she won't ever let them think anything different. I am still doing as you asked of me. Zack is holding on, as you know life has been pretty hard on the kid. I keep in touch with him as much as possible. Like you always use to tell me.."See ya on the flip side" Love Always! Courtney

If tears could build a stairway,and memories a lane, I’d walkright up to heaven and bring youhome again. I would erase our memories in exchange for you to make new ones with your children that you left behind.

I was very close to Marty a few years back. We hung out alot and would have fun talking and laughing all night. We met at Middle Branch. I would like to know what happened, to my knowledge he was in perfect shape. He loved his sons very much and enjoyed anything that had to do with Quarter Horses. I wish I could be there Wed. Shannon, feel free to contact me. I am quite puzzled.

It's been years since I've seen or talked to Marty. I met him through Dan when I was still in high school and he was one of the nicest guy's you would ever want to know. My prayer's are with Marty's family and friend's, we'll miss you Marty.

I only knew Marty for a short time. I met him at the Middle Branch in 2001. He was a great guy who loved his children and spending time with his horses. We spent many nights talking and laughing while at the Middle Branch. Marty was always concerned about making sure I got to my car safely. Marty will always have a special place in my heart and he will be missed by all who knew him. God Bless.
