Marty and I went to the same high school, I remember his funny humor and his passion for living his life to the fullest. When I heard the news I had to dig out my yearbook and take a trip down memory lane.
May you find comfort in your memories and love between each other.
My deepest condolences.

It has been years since I’ve seen Marty. We were only acquaintances. But this I can tell you with authority: Marty Belville is a pleasant, humble, and generous soul. A soul that lived and loved for his family. I coached on the opposite side of the field from him, and was involved in talking to him 20 to 30x over the years. He made an impression, and I respected and admired him for it.
May his memory be eternal
Brenda Anderson
Marty will be missed by all who knew him. He was funny, caring, animated and bubbly. You couldn’t have a bad day at work because he would always be joking and smiling. I remember my first farm show I did haha, I was so confused on the routine and route to take, but Marty was so cool, calm and understanding. He made it a point to recognize everyone. And his passion for kiddos and his job were commendable. My thoughts and prayers go out to his entire family. May you find peace and strength in the time ahead . My deepest sympathy. # FirstStudent #93

Marty was my baseball coach from kindergarten through 3rd grade. He had the natural ability to make everyone laugh. My memories from such a young age solidify that he truly was larger than life. I remember another time some years later when he chaperoned a school field trip. I remember laughing hysterically as we were canoeing in the park, and Marty began to comically rock the boat in a feigned panic. My heart goes out to the family during this time.
Deborah Dunn

Although I only knew Marty for a little over a year, he has left a lasting impression that will never be forgotten. He always made me smile and brightened the room each time he walked in. He was a man of great character and he will be deeply missed. I’m so sorry for your loss.
Tami D Smith
As Marty’s big sister living out-of-state, I wasn’t as involved in Marty’s life as many of you were–so I’ve totally appreciated reading all of these genuine statements about Marty’s soul. I had the opportunity to be with Marty and his family just before he passed and all’s I can say is that it was a complete honor. My mom and I felt emotionally charged by Marty’s loving family, and while we all shared the grief together, the moments were really focused on love and a celebration of Marty’s life. I’ve returned home and find myself inspired to be a better person! I love you and will miss you, little brother! But thank you. You did so good. Hugs and prayers to you all Regina, Keegan & Kasey, Kalea & Zach, Korissa, and Kyler.
Jennifer Miller
My heart aches for you all. Marty was such a good man / boss to all of us at the terminal. He will be greatly missed. I’m so sorry he was taken so soon. I will pray that you all can find comfort in knowing that he loved you all. Bug hugs to you all.
