Martin was known for his hard work, dependability, and kind spirit. He had a deep love for the outdoors, often found camping or paddling in his kayak, immersing himself in nature's beauty.
Martin was a devoted husband to his wife, Rhonda Matthews, and a proud father to his daughter, Leah Lewis (husband Shun). He cherished his family and was a great provider. He also shared a deep faith in God that guided him throughout his life.
