He is survived by loving family and many friends. Son, Luke (Rayanna); granddaughter, Alyssa; mother, Patricia Davis; father, Lew Martinson; brothers, Keith (Carol) and Brian (Tammy); sister, Laura Stolper; long time friend/brother Dave; and girlfriend, Monica Scheiber, and Ethel his cat. He is preceded in death by his brother, Dana Martinson; step-mother, Julie Martinson; step-fathers, Don Olsson and John Davis; grandmother, Grace Miller; and grandfathers, Fred Eberwine and Lloyd Martinson.
Marty was born July 7, 1954 in Minneapolis to Lew & Patricia (Eberwine) Martinson. From the time he was a kid with a paper route to now he was always in the right place - the right time. In his 4 glorious years aboard a Navy carrier, he saw and did things most dream of; crammed more life & love in his 54 years and few do in 80, making hundreds of friends along the way. He was very proud of his 25 years as a quality control inspector at NSP, Monticello Nuclear Power Plant, and his friends at the Maple Lake American Legion Post 131.
