This is not the kind of announcement anyone ever wants to make, and we wish we didn’t have to.
It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of one of our own and very best, Martin Garen.
Martin has left a void that echoes through our halls and hearts and left an everlasting impact on everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. He was an incredible, comical and dependable friend, and a man of his word. Above all, he was a devoted husband and father who loved his family deeply.
Martin loved what he did and had fun doing it. He made the most of every day, led with his heart and courage, and never failed to let those around him know how much he cared. He had an incredible impact on our company and in the lives of everyone lucky enough to know him.
To the Garen family: we are here for you. We will stand beside you, support you, and will take care of one another through this difficult time.
We kindly ask to respect the privacy of Martin’s family and loved ones as we grieve this tremendous loss.
For those who would like to support the Garen family, a GoFundMe has been established to help them during this difficult time. Please visit the link below to learn more and contribute.
Marty will forever stay in our hearts, memories, jokes, stories, practices, interactions, and in the way we look out for each other.
