In Loving Memory of Marty

On October 1st, our beloved husband, father, and grandfather, Marty, passed away unexpectedly. Marty was the heart of our family, a man who spent his life putting others before himself. He was a devoted husband to his wife of 45 years, Dawn, a proud father of four, and a loving grandfather to three beautiful grandchildren whom he and Dawn were raising together.

Marty’s kindness, selflessness, and steady love touched everyone who knew him. He was a family man through and through, always the first to lend a hand, offer encouragement, or share a laugh. Beyond his own family, Marty opened his heart and home to so many others. He cared for people who weren’t his own children, offering them love, guidance, and a safe place to land, no matter their financial situation. Even when he was struggling himself, he never hesitated to help anyone in need. That’s just the kind of man he was.

This fundraiser has been created to help cover funeral expenses and to support Dawn, who is now facing the financial challenges of maintaining their home and caring for the grandchildren without Marty by her side.

Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference during this difficult time. If you’re unable to give, we ask that you please share this page and keep our family in your thoughts and prayers.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your love, generosity, and support as we honor Marty’s memory and help our family through this painful loss.
