My Buddy Martin,
I was just looking at my photo album of when I went study abroad to the States. And somehow I googled your name to see how you are doing then found out what happended to you.
I should have tried to reach out for you earlier. I'm so sorry it took me this long.
You were my best buddy while I was in Florida.
Thank you for teaching me how to surf, taking me to bunch of parties including eating Tacobell afterwards.
I'll never forget the special moments we had.
Dear Hetstrom family,
I'm deeply sorry for your too big loss. Thank you very much for letting me stay at your place and treat me like I'm one of your family.

You're not forgotten. Your memory lives on with those who were so fortunate to have shared part of their lives with you. You encouraged us to enjoy life, and inspired me to share that with others.

Dear Maddie, Island and Baby Amelia-
It has always been so clear that Martin meant the world to you...being a loving & devoted husband and Daddy. I know his love will continue to follow each of you. May God shower your family with peace during this horrible loss. It is heartbreaking in every sense of the word. Watching Island grow the way he has at school has been a direct reflection of how loved he has always been at home...nothing showed it more than Island's huge grin when Daddy picked him up from school. Island loved telling all his school buddies about going to the beach with Daddy. The excitement was about more than he could bare! The bond shared between father and son I saw first hand and it has always touched my heart. Now more than ever I realize how fragile life is, how every day is a true gift. I feel very blessed being a part of Island's world and knowing his amazing family. Maddie, I am always here for you. You are an amazingly strong woman and it is obvious why Martin was so proud of you. You stay in my thoughts and prayers. Love-

Tedi - Donnie - Family, Friends and loved ones,
we were saddened to just learn of this tremendous loss. Martin was always special. We were blessed to have known him from his little years until he graduated and set off for the quest of his dreams, callings, the people he world meet. He was not afraid and I always could not help but know he would make this world a better place. We always enjoyed an update on his life as he was going for every joy that life had to bring it in every way he could. Our love is with with you and your entire family. No words can express your loss.
With love, the Deen Family

I don't even know where to start. We raised our children together, I feel as if God has taken one of my own. Martin was as close to a perfect child as they come...you & Donnie did such a wonderful job with him. And he LOVED his siblings-ALL of them! He was a wonderful husband and father. He excelled in all he did...we surely did lose him too soon. I am sending so much love & prayers to you all~I love you!

It looks like the Angels needed a couple lifeguards to help them. Martin and Chip. They both seemed very special. God bless the family and children especially. I'm sure you have lots of love surrounding you.
