Will Martin Memorial Thread

Too fucked up to post…that was my nicca…

R.I.P. WILL

WHAT!!! I WAS JUST UP THERE A MONTH AGO!!!

I didnt know he was doing that bad?
Why didnt he say anything to me? :sad:

He kept it all inside…I just wish that I had a chance to say something :sad:

I got to hang out with him a couple of times at ECC, and played him on XBLIVE alot in cvs2. He was a funny mother fuker man!! R.I.P. Will. ECC wont be the same without you!! :sad: :sad:

there’s nothing else i can say that i didn’t already tell his friends.

i hope those who left, not limited to, brian (sloth), craig, brian (mummy), and will found peace.

literally 2 weeks before his passing

I was looking foward to playing him again, hadnt played him
in years except for this past dirties Sept.:sad:
I asked how he was when he picked me up and didnt seem troubled.
We played Marvel till 1:00Am that Fri night.
Still the same trash talking Will after so long,“that team will never work Eugene”:lol:Marvel vs Series was like the only games I could consistently beat him at,
but cant beat him at anything else…its been like that for years,

First Ken, now Will, another one of my favorite old school rivals,
died to something that could have been prevented:sad::mad:
I should have talked to his sister more about what was going on
:crybaby:

Have you ever read something that made you feel compelled to speak out, only to not know where to begin? This is exactly what I’m experiencing now.

Will was a defining member of this community, and just like I said less than three months ago when we lost Brian, when a member of this community falls, we all feel the pain. I never really knew Will personally, but he was an avid supporter of my tournaments back in the day, and whenever I saw him after retirement, he always asked me if I was planning on making any sort of a return. It’s ironic that I have cemented plans to go to NEC5 in two weeks. We should arrange a moment of silence before we begin the tournament for all of our fallen comrades over the years (Tee, Craig, Brian, and now Will come to mind.)

Condolences to the family and friends of Will, especially the MD crew that are taking this hit worst of all. Godspeed Will. :sad:

Why do peopledo this? This is so very sad. And he left a son as well. May the almighty have mercy on him and his family.

If anyone knows anything about Funeral/Memorial viewing, whatever
Please post it up,if its this weekend Ill come up there,thought
Ill miss my friends wedding…decisions

This is to much for me I dont understand WILL WHY :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: .

I meet Will at a Tourney In NC a couple of years ago and let me say this guy was cool as hell. My very 1st tourney and this cat was helping me improve my game. He is a great friend and he will be miss. I cant understand why somebody would want to do this :sad: It hurts my heart when my SF brothers pass away. A great Player and Friend will be miss. My heart and Prayers go out to Will’s Family and Friends :sad:

“Where ever you might be GO FOR BROKE”

If anyone could give me Will’s Address just PM the address because i would like to send a card.

i never met the man, but i offer my deepest condolences to his family and friends.

it’s good to see that no matter who/where we are, this community can come together during times like this.

Never knew Will, doesn’t matter though. God bless his family and all who knew him.

Death makes you appreciate life in no other way. Live life day by day and appreciate all that is around you, taking nothing for granted. Show your appreciation anytime you can because you never know when you’ll get another chance. Debt, problems with your girl, etc pale in comparison. Use these as motivation for your life and to become the master of your world, because we are not promised tomorrow. Life is so precious.

that is sad he took his life. there is so much in life to live for,his will be dearly missed. R.I.P :sad:

Never met the guy but stuff like this always sucks.

RIP man, god bless.

Brotha doesn’t even know where to begin. Will was my dog…I met this crazy cat my 2nd ECC. This brotha comes to me out of know where askin me if alpha 3 zangief had any chance to beat Dhalsim. At that time my Dhaly was hot…so I tell this brotha…nah man…there is no hope for Zangief in that match. So all day Will keeps comin up to me and is like…“man, you sure there aint nothin zangief can do? It’s impossible? Damn” So here I am tellin him this match is impossible and then we had to play each other next in A3.Little did I know he was just pysching me out cause he had a little special trick of his own with gief vs dhaly. Of course im a little over confident since I knew he was picking zangief. . He ends up clutching a game with this crazy V-Zangief leeping across the screen trick and really started bringing the buisness in A3. Gave me a big wake up call…and Will taught me that day…to never under estimate anybody…no matter what the match up is.After the fight, he was like man…I thought I had you pysched man hehehe. I liked will, cause he knew the true art of these fighting games…its all about getting into the players mind…not about who beats who on paper. I respected him a lot for that. Will was a good guy, always coming up with off the wall strats and Ideas that made him excell above the rest.

you will be missed my brotha…may your soul rest in peace. Much love to your wife and son Will Martin.

This is still much of a shock to me… =(

This is just too much…

I can’t really think of much to say, he really represented something about the SF community that made SF what it was. I only wish there was a way that I could’ve gotten to know him a little better. When I think back to when I used to play tournaments I always remember times that I talked and played with Will Martin in SF. He really was a great guy to be around. I’m just saddened that I only knew him for a short time and wish I made better of it.

My condolences to his family

RIP Will Martin

Sometimes life gets to painfull that we forget ourselves for a moment. If Will just though about how much his freinds and family respected and loved him, he would not have done what he did.

RIP Will

Does anyone have any match vids of Will???

Maybe someone could make a tribute video or something.

RIP Mr. Martin.
