I got to grow up in your family and know exactly how wonderful you are. You are the sweetest, funny and caring person. I’m so glad we connected again after all these years and I was able to talk to you. Love you Martin and give Nannie a hug from me
My thoughts and prayers for Martins family and friends. I know that Martha and Charlie were there to greet him.
Tammy, I am so sorry to hear about Martin. I certainly enjoyed hunting with him and watching football games at the camp with him. Praying for you and Mathew and the rest of the family. We love all of you and will cherish those hunts and days in camp in my memories.
Tammy, I’m so sorry! Praying for you and the family!
Love Regina “Gina Kay” Baldwin and family

I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. He was a dedicated husband and father. I pray you find peace knowing he is not sick anymore.
You will be missed but NEVER forgotten! I was lucky enough to call you brother, but you were more like a friend. Growing up with you was so much fun! We shared a love for scary movies, and you couldn’t wait to scare me at least fifty times for weeks after. You were sweet, funny, compassionate, and you were fierce when it came to loving and serving our Savior. You were faithful to the end. I will always love my “Marty”
You will be missed, but will never be forgotten! I was lucky enough to call you brother, but more than that, you were my friend. You were so much fun to grow up with.

You were kind, compassionate and fierce when it came to loving and serving God. You were faithful til the end. You will always be my Marty????????❤️
