I met you when I was just a kid :) and here we are playing adults ... No matter the struggles you were always someone I looked up to. Your strength and determination alone trumped everyone I know. You never know what you got till its gone. Or so they say. But we all knew. You were a diamond in the rough for lack of better words. I hope you have finally found that peace you have been striving for for so long. Rip

We were like four years old when we first became friends we were both the youngest of our clans. Only couple houses apart with all our older sibblings friends as well as moms,thus began our story. From the first memory I have all I can see is his big smile, and to be honest that is the last memory I have is a big smile and hug as we said our final farewell, somrhing I will never forget. Can honestly say I know for a fact nobody reading this has not been impacted by having known that man. He would selfless give you the shirt off his back, I've seen him do it more than once. Spend the only twelve dollars he had to put in gas to go pick up someone he called his friend at whatever time at whatever place with no thought of being paid back. He was a true saint, he loved all of you, even if you never met, always had at least 6 children hanging off him. For a lot of us he was the glue that kept us together, at the least introduced us. A true child of god. Martine you have always have been and will be my brother, even though I'm your uncle. MY BROTHER this I swear to you......now you have left all of us most important are the three angles you left without their daddy... I will do everything I possibly can to make sure they want for nothing(except the time and lessons you had left to Give them) you were an awsome man and a good father,son, uncle, brother and mother. You will always be loved and missed. Your brother TRAVIS

I still cannot believe I am not going to see you again. My heart is trully broke and will never quite be the same without you being in our lives. I am going to miss hearing your loud trucks pulling in and having all your smiling faces come piling out, I am going to miss running into you almost every time I leave my house, I am going to miss your contagious laugh and how you never lost the lil kid inside of you. You are an amazing father and friend and that will live on in all the lives you touched, including mine. Love you Martine and will miss you always.
