I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I fondly remember tutoring Marty. He was bright and a pleasure to work with. One of my fondest memories is when the ice cream truck passed the house right after tutoring. That's when I found another one of his talents was running. He was a delightful young man. May you find peace in your memories.

Dear McCormick Family: I am beyond heartbroken that Marty has passed away. I have been in tears since I learned of the horrific news. Marty was a wonderful boy and I had the sincere pleasure of knowing him through school. I will miss him tremendously....his smile, his upbeat personality, and mostly our fun chats.

~ The McCormick Family
My family's thoughts are with all of you during this heartbreaking time. Although I didn't know Marty very well, my kids did. He was my daughters' first boyfriend in Middle School, fortunately they remained friends over the years and my son played sports with him. As I listened to my children express their feelings and recall some memories over the past few days, it is obvious Marty had a contagious smile, was a good person and friend to many. In time, we pray that every thought of Marty brings a smile to your face and your heart will hurt a little less knowing he is playing in the Big Leagues now.

I was sad to hear about Marty and will always remember his beautiful smile. My deepest sympathy to your family. Mrs. Barb Greco

My daughter went to school with Marty at Lynnwood and kept in touch with him through social media since then. She and many of his other friends from elementary school were devestated to learn that such a sweet friend was so tragically taken from them. Please know that there are many, many of his friends who are keeping you in their thoughts and prayers. I am so very sorry for your loss.
