Not sure what to say?

I first met Marty over 10 years ago when I began working in this field. He kindly and patiently listened to my ideas, improved upon them, and introduced me to others who could help me. He always had an encouraging word whenever he would see me. It would be impossible to measure the immense positive impact he had on so many colleagues and families that he touched through his work. My deepest condolences to his family and his colleagues.

I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to work with Marty for more than a decade. His strategic thinking, creative ideas, and "roll up your sleeves" approach to problem solving made him an outstanding colleague. He was generous with both his time and his ideas. He took every phone call, answered every email, and always said yes to a challenge. He was the most creative thinker I've ever had the pleasure to work with, and I learned so much from him that I will always carry with me. But...

I'll miss you buddy. I'll forever cherish the memories of spending holidays together growing up, going to Bengals games with our dads or just spending family time with you guys. Give my mom, your mom and dad, and Grandma & Grandpa a hug for me. Love ya Cuz!

Marty, we are thankful to have met you at Katie and TJ's wedding, here's to the times we'll miss you in the future. Your family and friends are blessed to have your light in their life. Rest in Peace, Emily Budd and Amy Parlette

Marty was a great guy and it was a joy to work with him over the past several years. His support to all of us at MAFS will be deeply missed. The past couple of years showed me Marty’s toughness and resilience as he endured his trial, watching him continue to battle and stay steadfast in making sure he continued to work so hard was such a incredible example. Jennifer and children, I am praying for you as you celebrate Marty.

My deepest sympathies to Jenny and the rest of the family. Marty was beloved by all who worked with him and on top of being a fantastic leader and accomplished professional he was just a really good person. His impact on his community will live on.

A child of God. Great father, husband.Rest in peace.

I worked with Marty when MKJ did marketing for Aurora. What a great guy. So non political and always ready to help. E helped us so some nice things for the company because of his enthusiastic approach to new ideas and helping others. So sorry to hear of this terrible loss.
