Those who knew Marty very well knew him as "Martimus Maximus". He was a unique, funny, colorful and kind hearted soul. Marty loved music, especially playing the guitar and drums. Dawn has many great memories with Marty with some of her favorites with is she and Marty "jamming" together. As teenagers, Marty would play guitar or drums, and Dawn would sing.

Marty was also a great artist, producing amazing drawings and paintings. He was also a hilarious storyteller, often leaving his listeners in tears because he was so funny.

Marty could light up a room with his charm and humor. Everyone who met him knew that they were in for a good time. Marty was a TALKER! He loved to talk and was very passionate about what he would say.

Dawn was born with a best friend, a wombmate, her constant. Growing up, they were inseparable, sharing life's ups and downs; and Dawn was very protective of her twin brother.

Marty is loved and missed; and will remain forever in the hearts of those who loved him. This loss is shattering but we know that God has him and he is waiting for us on the other side.
