His sports activities continued into his adult life, most recently with throwing darts and pitching horseshoes. When he wasn’t participating, Husker football and NASCAR were two of his favorites to watch.

Marty passed away unexpectedly at his home in Omaha on Tuesday, November 22, 2016. He had reached the age of 47 years, four months, and seven days. His grandparents and an aunt preceded him in death.

Marty is survived by his daughter Caitlin Gwartney of Omaha; parents Terry and Annette of Auburn; brothers and sisters-in-law Troy and Lindsay of Omaha; Travis and Melody of Omaha; nephew Graham; longtime loving friend Stephanie Davis of Omaha; many aunts, uncles, cousins, other relatives and friends.

A funeral service was held Saturday, November 26, 2016 at Faith Lutheran Church in Talmage, with Rev. Mary Grundman officiating. Rita Ruenholl was organist and accompanist for congregational songs.
