Marty was my great friend and roommate at ricks college. I have just learned of his passing (11/22/14) and I am deeply saddened. He was a great friend and I wish I had spent more time with him as we got older. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to his family and friends.
My sincere condolences to Marty's wife, children and grandchildren. Marty was my cousin. Although I lost contact with him in the mid 1990's, his name is mentioned frequently when my sisters, brother & I get together and remember our childhood family get-togethers. Marty was always fun, outgoing and very kind-hearted. I am very happy to hear of his recent marriage prior to his death. His memory will live on in his children and grandchildren. Sincerely, Mary Sanders-Sallaway 3/1/11
My heartfelt condolences to Marty's wife & children. I felt honored to know Marty and know what a wonderful testimony he had. He trained several horses for me and he had an extraordinary gift with them. I was so sorry because I had just had surgery that I was unable to attend his funeral but want his family to know that his friendship and abilities were greatly appreciated!! My sincerest condolences over your untimely loss.
When the Lord calls our loved ones home, he leaves a gift of memories in exchange. Hold on to your memories and let them guide you during this time of sadness.
We, his former classmates, share many memories of his crazy antics that always brought laughter to those around him. We missed him at our reunions.
Our Condolences to Marty's family!

My thoughts and prayers go out to you all.
May the memories of Marty console you during these difficult days. I went to high school with Marty and I cannot remember ever seeing him without a big smile on his face. Words from Larry Kinser: -His former classmates hold him fondly in our memories. He was such an important part of our lives when we were younger.- Everyone loved Marty and he loved all of us. He will live in our hearts forever.
The last time I saw Marty he was at a junior rodeo with his kids. He was still the gentle giant of the class of 65' and it was good to know that some things never change. May his family find peace with his untimely death by knowing that he was loved by many.
