Marty was a good man and very hardworking. An arborist by trade, he worked as a tree removal specialist for many years for Nelson Tree Service. When he was 17 years old, Marty enlisted with the US Navy and proudly served his country. He was honorably discharged on his 21st birthday. Marty enjoyed working and cars and watching football (Go Broncos!) and he loved watching WWE wrestling. As a lifelong Catholic, he was a deeply spiritual man. His faith in God was steadfast and true.

Marty and Patricia Padilla were wed in Denver, Colorado on September 3, 1971. At the time of his passing, they had celebrated more than 54 years of marriage. They raised their children in a loving home centered around family and God. Marty was a loving husband and a supportive father who was proud of his children, and his grandchildren. He is dearly missed.
