He was our Coca-Cola King! He was a strong, brave man and honesty was important to Mart. He was very, very particular and a man’s word was his bond and he was a man of his word. He was a great husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather.

He was the 4th of 5 children. He attended school in Wasatch and he was a life–long resident of Wasatch County. He currently resided in Center Creek with his wife, Judy.

He loved mowing his lawn! It was highlight. Everyone rode by to see if Mart made it thru the winter and was out mowing! Mart worked as a truck driver until he retired. He loved being a husband, father, and grandfather. Mart was extremely musical and had his own band that played excellent music that would bring many to hear him play. He loved playing guitar and singing. He loved rides in the mountains in his red and silver truck. Mart was a very humorous and funny man to be around. He had a sharp wit and a keen mind. He was small but mighty!
