Todd,
We will miss you every day. Thank you for being a great brother. From the times we played football indoors as kids, to our hunting trips. Now you are sitting at the dining room table with Nan and Bapa.
Love you always little brother.
God Bless
Tim

My heart goes out to all of you! Wishing I could be there to put my arms around you 🙂 One of my favorite (and most annoying! haha) memories is of you and Todd insisting on doing tickle wars on me at all of our family Christmas’! This world was just too small for such a big heart. Rest well, Todd. Give Grandpa/Uncle Cully, a big hug for me!

Todd Martin family: Thankfully I got to know todd at work. His big heart and great personality allowed him to be friends with anybody. I enjoyed the “smart talk” and sarcasm we shared. We hunted pheasants and deer together and both had dogs named Ace. I know any hunting I do in the future Todd will be with me in spirit. I’ll miss you buddy?. But as I learned in Russia, your departure is NOT goodbye, but desvidinia, until we meet again? God bless you all ??????
Scott says
Rest in peace. Glad to have been able to call you my friend. Keep an eye on my daughter for me.
Kurt Lawrence says
Todd,
I will miss you. I will miss our conversations on politics and sports. I’m glad I was able to see you on the road trip last year. Thank you for always treating me like family. You will never be forgotten.
Love,

Our smart talk and sarcasm conversations will be missed but I know you will always be with me when I hunt in spirit?? This is not goodbye, but as I learned in Russia; desvidania, until we meet again, God bless the Martin family.
Glenda Bush says
I remember when I first met you and I didn’t like you. Several years later, I still didn’t like you. Over the years, I have grown to love you so much and you were not my brother-in-law, you were my brother. I will miss so many things about you. Your sense of humor is one of them. I will never be able to watch a Denver vs Kansas City Chiefs game the same. The texting back and forth because you saying KC isn’t a quality team and how that wasn’t a penalty. I know you are pain free now and looking down from above keeping us all safe.
I will miss you and will see you again some day.
All my love
Glenda

Memories fill my head from long ago. Daycare, bike riding up and down 8th St, playing in the dirt piles, the tunnel going across the street. Cemetary games, games in Ellestads parking lot. Various gatherings our parents hauled us off too.
Rest in peace Todd.
Martins,
My sympathies to you all, hugs and prayers are coming your way.

It’s all to surreal still but I will miss you my friend. I’m glad to have had the time we spent together over the last few years. Glad that I have gotten to know you and your family.
