our Sr Class President ... A fantastic wonderful person/friend.

He was a delight! A good friend and schoolmate. I learned a lot of social/community stuff also racial harmony from him. God Bless you, Martis!!!

Went to school together. He was a super smart and nice person. If he had wanted I could have fallen in love with him.

BEST COACH I EVER HAD. LOVED FOOTBALL.(SIU) SALUKI. I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HIS HONESTY. I SKIPPED HIS CLASS ONCE, AND HE LAID ME OUT FORT IT(LAUGH). KNOWING HIM MADE ME BE A BETTER HUMAN BEING. ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD IN LIFE WITH A POSITIVE ATTITUDE. LUV YA MARTY. REST IN PEACE.

Martis III - born January 25

I was fortunate to work with Marty at AARP for several years. He was a great person and a great mentor to me. Our legacy is the people whose lives we make better, and Marty did that for me and I'm sure many, many others.

I miss him. Already 3 years we lost a wonderful man. Time flies but memories remain. Thank you Marty!

Fantastic guy, was my football coach, mentor, and teacher. Will never forget old marty, always a place in my heart for my old coach.

I only wish that I knew he was less than an hour away. It would have been so nice to meet up again. What a stand out person he was, even in H.S.,always surrounded by friends, always a smile foe everyone. Anniversaries are always difficult for those who loved him.
May his family and dear friends think of all the good times and wonderful memories he left for you to treasure.
