We are going to put this as Keith Martin would…
“Let me tell ya a story,”…There was this man that made a life out of love, fatherhood, and cowboy adventures. With an immense love for horseback riding, the outdoors, hunting, his family, his mornings at Flossie’s, and his nights at his favorite spot to catch up with good company, his bar. His stories were endless and a characteristic that most admired him for and was envious of. In recent months becoming a Papa to his granddaughters was his pride and joy. His best friends were who mattered to him most, his wife Beth Martin, with which they shared 44 years together, and their two sons Seth and Zack Martin. His stories, the legacy he left in his small hometown, will be carried through all the hearts and lives he’s touched and there will definitely be a hole left that no one can replace as Keith Martin, aka “Holiday,” and Papa Keith was truly a one of kind man and to say he will be missed is an understatement. He didn’t just exist in this life he lived it to the absolute fullest and he encouraged you to do the same any chance he got.
