This past Saturday (March 12, 2016), Clyde Martin III of Illinois married the love of his life, Nicky, in her hometown where they resided, Michigan. It was the greatest & most joyous day of his life. He was a friend, brother, husband and son—caring, outgoing, humble and esteemed. He was treasured. He was loved.

On Tuesday (March 15, 2016), while on his honeymoon, Clyde passed away… leaving behind a wealth of family and friends in heartfelt shock and disbelief. Today, though we are all grieving and in many ways still wrestling with the acceptance of his departure, we are also coming together collectively with aims to generate something positive in this hour of tragedy.

In memory of Clyde Martin III, we have created this support campaign in hopes to assist with immediate expenses his wife Nicky may be saddled with due to his untimely departure so far from home.

--> We aim to raise $15,000.00 to help with arrangements for his transportation from Florida back home as well as the funeral expenses that will be incurrred.

--> Any additional funds will directly provide support to Nicky in the days, weeks and months ahead in order to allow her to process and grieve during this trying time.

Your loving prayers, strengthening words of remembrance and all monetary amounts donated are tremendously appreciated. All of your love and support is of great value in helping a wife and a family find peace in a most-difficult time.
