Hi, my name is Billie-Jo and I am fundraising for my family to help bear the sudden costs of our father passing.

Marty was so full of life and loved his children, friends and wide community.

We all thought Marty was going to live to a very old age, so to be experiencing this sudden loss of such a life at a young age of 66 is beyond comprehension.

But, those who know Marty, know that he lives by his own rules. He loved route 66 so much that he decided this was the route he was going to depart on.

As he would say... 'Marty's law'.

A funeral in Brisbane will be planned within the next week and a memorial in the Shire in the next month, we'll advise once details are finalized.

We want to send Marty off in style, with the love and dignity he deserves.

The funds will help pay for both of these events.

Any contribution large or small would be greatly appreciated.
