Marty loved the outdoors, traveling and fishing. He enjoyed connecting with his Native American heritage through his travels and readings. Photography was a deep passion and he took pictures wherever he roamed on a multitude of camera types and even shared his love of photography by selling his work at a local art shop. Marty enjoyed car shows and working on his own vehicles. He was an avid sports fan, especially baseball, in which he was a St. Louis Cardinal’s fan.
