Dillon en-us https://projects.latimes.com/wardead/name/timothy-p-martin/#c164267 https://projects.latimes.com/wardead/name/timothy-p-martin/#c164267 Tim was a great friend of mine from childhood. We went all the way through Saint Anne's elementary school together, served as alter boys together, and spent quite a bit of time hanging out on the weekends on his familys farm out in Pixley. I remember the first time I ever drove was in his dad Tony's old blue truck. We cruised that thing out around the haystacks feeling like grown men. I remember the first time I handled a firearm was with Tim. We took out his dad's old double barrel 12 gauge and had a good time. I will never forget that day. We even rolled around in a mountain of manure once just for the hell of it. We were kids. I'll never forget the day when my mom called me with the news of his death. I was living in Sacramento at the time. I remember hearing the details, holding myself together, then ending the call. After that, I broke down for a bit. I hadn't ever lost a friend before. Tim and I fell out of touch during high school, but you can't erase the relationship we had prior to that. I still get choked up when I remember him. I know his sister Bryna welcomed him into heaven after he passed. I'm sure Tim was happy to see her again. Sat, 16 Aug 2014 11:35:49 -0700
