So it was me, Alex, n Martin in Mexico...Martin decided to take us for a spin and just so happens he asked if we wanted to drive; n of course we said yes! It was my first time behind the wheel n boy it showed! I was literally a few inches from going off road into a large ditch...but we made it through alive. He was a good sport about it n made me feel comfortable since I had no prior driving experience. I can truly and honestly say I have the confidence to shatter any challenges life throws at me thanks to Martin.

I remember all those time my mom would call him & ask him if he was working around the area so he could come eat at our house. And every time he would come my mom would fix him the biggest plates and he would always tell her "Guera i'm not gonna come over anymore, you feed me too much. And my mother always taught me to eat everything people give me" But again a few days later he'd be back at my house eating some chiles rellenos =)

So I HAVE to add this one too. Mom had helped Dad had go upstairs to go to sleep, & Vero & I were watching t.v. next thing you know dad's walking back down the stairs. Vero & i were like, Dad you are supposed to be sleeping & NOT walking down the stairs by yourself. & of course Dad said, "SHHH!! don't let your mother hear, you're going to get me in trouble!" and sat next to us.Next thing you know Mom is calling Dad, "Martin! where did you go?" So Vero & i built a pillow fort around him so she wouldn't see him.

there are soooo many memories!!! but probably my personal favorite was when mom was goin to go grocery shopping & dad wanted to go for a walk while mom was gone. Dad & i walked over to walgreens & got some popsicles & walked back home...we were just talking and walking. When we turned the corner dad said, "oh no your mother is still here!!! now she's going to want a popsicle too!! lets go around the block maybe she won't see us!! that was a good day!!

I was shocked when I heard of Martin's death. I worked with him when I was consulting with Synon at RR Donnelly's in Virginia. I will never forget the number of pranks he brought to the office. Before long we were all participating. He also gave me some free room night vouchers for a high end hotel in Hawaii, that I used for my honeymoon, that I otherwise would not have been able to afford. He will never be forgotten!!!

I met Martin in 1994 on a consulting job in Harrisonburg, VA. At the time, I was newly married and my wife was traveling with me. She recalled that Martin went out of his way to encourage her with a kind word about her cooking - he could see that she needed that.
For my part, I remember Martin to be a man who cared deeply about his family. He mentioned them often, and after returning to work on Monday, he would speak about what they all did on the weekend together. During our work together he was genuinely friendly, helping me along the way.
May God strengthen you as you walk this difficult road. Ask the Lord Jesus for help...He will hear your prayers.

To the Family fo Martin,
I was truly sorry to hear this news and have thought of him and all he has done in the time we worked together at AMA Insurance Agency. He was my Mentor
and he was good at it. He was such a people person and always had a smile when you dropped by his office unexpectly.
No one can say words that help at a time like this, but please know your not suffering alone. The world suffers with you and the loss of a great person on earth.
He always wanted to be better. Maybe God will let him handle highest job in the IT area and control who comes in and who stays out of heaven.
He lived short here but lived happy.
He was so proud of his family. Many a times I was in his office when one of the kids called and he was always smiling when he spoke with them.
He tried to be tough, but after he hung up he would laugh. He now can say he has been there and done that amd was a step ahead of the kids and knew what they were thinking before they did it.
He is in good hands now and not suffering. Soon you'll all meet again.
For now cherish the time and memories you had with him one day at a time.
My best

I was happy to have the opportunity to work with Martin for several years at Kraft Foods. We spent a lot of time together on several projects. Through all the ups and downs, Martin always had a positive outlook on the situation and a kind word to say. It was a privilege to work with him and I will always remember him with a smile.

I was sad to learn of your loss.
Martin and I worked together in the early 90's at WCSS. We always enjoyed the humor of the moment, it helped us to appreciate what life gives.
I am thankful for having known Martin.

We had the pleasure to meet Martin at 8grade and then share the high school years. It was a shock to hear of his passing to a resting place with God, it is sad , but comforting that he is on better hand. All the angels in Heaven will be happy to have someone like him among them, Alway smiling positive and taking care of other before him. He left before us but we have all the memories he left with in to keep on going until we meet again.
From the bottom of our hearts our condolences to his children and family.

I had the pleasure of working with Martin at SXC. I never met a nicer and more genuine person than Martin.
May it comfort you to know that Martin touched so many of us with his good nature and, even after being diagnosed with his illness, his sense of optimism and determination.
It is a loss to all of us but especially to you, his family, who were closest to him. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.

I will remember Martin as a brave soul who throughout his own illness still showed compassion for others. Our paths crossed twice in our careers and I am grateful for that. May you find peace in the memories you cherish.

I worked with Martin on a consulting contract in Detroit (1995) and later on a project at Kraft Foods (1999). We periodically crossed paths through the years following. Martin was a great guy and I feel priveledged to have known him.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in this time of sadness.

Family of Martin,
First of all, I am so very sorry for your loss. Martin is a loss to us all. I worked with Martin at SXC in the IT software group. I got to know Martin by just running into him at the coffee machine, kitchen, washroom or hallways. What I noticed before AND after his diagnosis two years ago was how positive, upbeat, friendly and pleasant he always seemed to be. He always had a smile for you too.
In the spring of 2008 we both, along with many others at SXC, participated in a 5k walk/run for charity in Chicago. My favorite memory of Martin was after we had finished the course the organizers had bananas and water for all the participants. To make a long story short, they had purchased way too many bananas and started asking people if they wanted to take big cartons of bananas home with us. So about 10 or so of us SXC people grabbed a number of very large cartons and started walking toward our cars, which were about a mile away. Well it soon became apparent that these large cartons of bananas were too heavy for one person to carry a mile, solo. So we all paired up and each took an end. At one point I was paired with Martin and he was having the time of his life carrying those bananas and joking around and saying how much fun it was. You see he was already somewhat weakened from his illness at that time but one would never know it. He carried his end of the carton for the whole mile and never complained. Which really was a perfect example of how Martin conducted his life in other areas.
I have fond memories of that evening last spring and will always cherish them.
My Sincere Sympathies,
Horace Cartwright, SXC
