To all my cousins- Sorry for your loss. He had a loving and kind heart the size of Texas and never met a stranger. Had a special bond with sister Bonnie.
RIP Martin. You were a good man and a Great MARINE. I will always be thankful for what you did for my family.
Cindy, sorry for the loss of your brother. Condolences to the family. Praying for all
Cindy, Bonnie, Linda, and Karen. I’m so sorry for the loss of your brother. Roger was always a warrior, which your parents taught him to be as well as the Marine Corps. I always loved that about him. He stood up for what he believed in no matter what. Roger had an iron will. That hard exterior always hide that soft gentle side of him which I always knew was there all along. Michael is exactly like his father in this way. May Roger rest in peace. Peace and serenity to your entire family during this time.
Roger, you made it to your final tour of duty bro. In our Marine Hymn, the last verse says, If the Army and Navy ever look on heaven scenes, they will find the streets are guarded by United States Marines.Heaven is safer this day. Fair Winds and Following Seas Devil dog.
prayers and condolences for the family .
Cindy and extended family……We were so very sorry to hear Roger had died. We all loved him and he was so good to Brian in helping him with his truck problems. May you remember what a fun and good natured guy he was and know he has no more pain. We send our deepest condolences.l
Roger was one of my old friends, we worked together at the bus garage for a few years. What a guy, he could do anything, he took pride in what he did, his country, and always had the safety of the kids in mind. Yes, he did play and live life hard, but he would do anything for anybody. I will miss seeing him. May god bless your soul, and your family.
RIP Roger and my sincerest condolences to his family.
Sincere condolences to the Martin family & friends. GOD bless and be with you all.
