I knew Martin years ago.... He will truly be missed. He was a special being and a true friend. So sad to hear his life ended way too soon. 

Can please someone tell me how he died? What happened? So sad

I met Martin at my time at UTA he was a great friend and welcomed me to his house once for Spring Break. He was a very caring and selfless person. He had lots of empathy and always had a smile on his face. I'll miss him keeping it real and miss the jokes. After university we still found a way to keep in touch whether it was in Cali or in Turkey. Martin knew what it was like to be a good friend and he will be missed.

My little brother was always there for me if I needed him. It's hard to think he'll not be here for my children, our birthdays together, Thanksgiving or Christmas time. He won't be here to see the fights with us anymore. He won't be able to enjoy the good times with us physically. He'll never argue with us about creation, or love or anything. He won't be there to call me gatillo, or call my wife his other little sister. He won't be there to hug me, talk to me about things only brothers talk about. He won't be here to celebrate Mothers day, father's day or even celebrate Easter. We were supposed to grow old and be old together and talk about stupid old guy stuff. We were supposed to be a trio. Now our trio is down to two. My little brother was supposed to have kids and we were supposed to have our kids play together. But no more, I will have to wait until the end of my life to see him again. And that's not fair. I cry every night for him, in silence and in pain. There's no one that can nor will ever replace him. And he's a huge part of my life gone. A part of my heart that is missing. I won't and can't be the same. I will really miss him and with heavy heart I will call out to him. But he won't come home. And that's what kills me slowly. And my life is just going to get worse. Because the only truth is that more people will die in my life. And I won't be able to make it better. From now on, everyone in my life means much more now than ever before.

Martin was an honest, loyal, respectful, and a polite person. Always there to help, and very dependable. He simply had a relaxed way of going about things. He was humble and open minded to learning about different cultures. When most complain about their work, Martin enjoyed it, and appreciated it.  He was intelligent, and knew how to read in-between the lines. If that is not enough, he was extremely generous, never greedy and wanted to share the fun. From Southern Cali, to Arlington TX, Austin TX, and India..thanks for the memories...you will never be forgotten. RIP My Cali Brotha!

Martin, we will miss your smile and your huge hugs. We love you and will miss youalways. Im wearing  red tomorrow  in your memory since Im in Texas and not in California. Your Cousin, Chelly Galvan

I will forever LOVE you mijo. You will always hold a part in my heart. It hurts to know you are no longer with us. Rest in our Heavenly Father's loving arms, mijo...

I know you are in a better place brother.
 Wondering why does it have to be this way
 It hurts so much because there's nothing I can do or say that can make you come back. I remember our days at UTA.
 You will always remain my best friend.
Rest in peace brother! Manny

It's painful to me to say that my dear friend and family member is no longer with us. I will always remember the time we first met at UTA and right off the back I knew you was going to be my close friend. You attended all my birthday dinner and we spent so many time together, whether it's 4th July or New Years. Your pictures will be my memory of you and you will be so missed. Coming to India was the most exciting moment for me and my family and every year I would mention your name and remember you. You will be missed and may you be able to rest in peace.

I will never forget my best friend and all of the great times that we shared. Martin was always there for me and supported me regardless of the situation; he was always there to lend his helping hand He was always there for me. 
One amazing memory that we share was when Martin came all the way to India for mine and Jay's wedding; it was the best experience ever, to have my best friend there helping me on one of the most significant days of my life. I can still remember telling Jay, that before I could marry him, Martin and Abaz had to approve of him; and when they approved, that was our green-light to start our lives together. Our wedding video has so much more sentimental value now that Martin is gone. 
I remember how Martin, my sisters, and I would spend the 4th July; we would go out and watch the fireworks together and have some of our craziest times. He was so much more than a friend of ours; he was a part of our family. 
Martin was kind, compassionate, and a true gentleman. My heart is truly aching from the loss that I feel. Now that Martin is only a memory; he is one that I will never forget. 
Today, I have lost my dearest best friend; he will be in my heart and my thoughts always; I will miss him greatly. We have always enjoyed each other's company Things will never be the same without Martin.
