I met Danny in 1977. He was working out of his small garage on Gold. I'll always remember the times at that old garage. Always be thinking about Danny and his family.

My name is Marc and I met Danny Martin when I was about 15 to 16 years old back in 1983-84. Danny built my dad a Funnybike Chassis back in 1984. Me and my dad met with Danny at the Spring Nationals in Gulfport Mississippi. My family is from Mobile Alabama. Rest in Peace Danny. I'm sure racers in Heaven will need some chassis work. I believe you get to do all the things you love in Heaven.

Carol, Marcia, Donnie, Damon, Debbie and Family, Our Prayers and Love are with you. It is at these times when one thinks about Family, It is at these times we regret our distance. We have lit a candle for Danny and our Nuns at the ASC Convent are praying for him and the whole family.
Carol, we must be a little jealous of Danny, because he got to see God before we did. He was a good man. My Mother and Father, Betty, Gramma, and Grammpa were there to greet him, he is in good hands now..... Noone has to worry about him anymore, he is with Family.... and you know My Dad is playing cards with him!!! and Grammpa is making him help with one of those puzzels of his!! and Gramma is making him one of her famous Red Velvet Cakes!! and his Mom is Loving him!! So you see Carol he is having more FUN than we are..... Our thoughts and Prayers are with you all.
