Pops! I miss you! Thank you for being the best father a girl could ever ask for. I never thought this moment would come. You were always my invincible hero. My rock. My protector. My voice. You are everything to me! My pops! He was the light. He was the glue. He was what kept this family together. He taught me how to ride a bike. Taught me how to be tough. He did my hair while I was growing up. He taught me how to cook. He taught me how to sing. He taught me how to love real music. Old school music. The kind that can infiltrate your soul and take you to a different plane. He taught me how to run the curve in the 200 meter dash for track! I could always hear his voice through yelling for me while I was running. Some times he would come out to the field before the race and direct me, even though the runners were the only ones allowed on the field lol! You are the best grandpa in the world to my babies, and they love you with everything in them. They knew they were safe and loved whenever you were around. This picture is when we were singing happy birthday to Alysha. You always made everything so fun and loving. I will miss you forever. Rest easy dad! I love you. Love, Boogie!

Best at everything, just look at the love all around him and directed at him for the proof. He did his job as a parent, husband, relation, and friend. Will miss your BBQ!

Love

Matt Martin
