It was our great privilege to call Martin a friend. We attended his wedding to Myles and it stands out as one of the most memorable and beautiful occasions of our lives.
Since first coming to Liverpool, both Martin and Myles embraced the community and showed their big hearts with their volunteerism. Both were well known and well loved by the community.
We had the joy of many reciprocal meals at their house and ours. These boys always knew how to entertain!
We are deeply saddened by Martin’s passing.
In friendship and love,
