God Bless y'all

We were greatly saddened to hear of Tony's death. He was one of the most courteous, generous, and kindest persons we have ever known. -Tony was in the very first Sign Lang-
uage class ever taught at Lamar. He kept the class uplifted by his antics and made it fun to learn. He pursued his gift of learning Sign Language, which obviously, was one of his callings in life and that led to much bigger and better things. His pursuit in this area led him to become one of the best teachers and interpreters for deaf persons, as well as, leaders in Deaf Education.- Tony will be missed by those who knew him, especially his deaf friends - We pray that God will grant grace and peace to his family at this time of sadness.

Tony was a great friend and colleague. His heart was as big as Texas. His laugh was even bigger. I loved his stories, jokes, and anecdotes. He always had a kind word for everyone he met and was a true gentleman. I had the pleasure of working with Tony on CED accreditation visits and paper reviews for over 10 years and he was the ultimate professional. The field of Deaf Ed benefited greatly from the work of Gabriel Anthony Martin. We will miss you Tony!

Brother I don't know how to say good-bye. You are my heart and one of my best friends. We told each other everything! I trusted you with my deepest thoughts and fears and knew you would handle them with care. I don't know what to do now with out you. Our love as a brother and sister was something very special and I will treasure it always. I will treasure the time you stayed with me and all of our talks. Thanks for trusting me with your life. I hope I make you proud. You sure made me proud. You made a difference in this world. You are so loved. Sing with the angels brother. I will meet you on the other side.

Uncle Tony will be missed. My condolences to the Martin children, family and friends.

My dear friend, my brother, what can I say other than damn it, you left too soon; but, we still have an eternity to explore the vastness of the universe and bask on Heaven's shores. It goes without saying that you will be missed on this side of the rainbow, but hang tough Tony, this separation will not last forever.

It's been a great 8-second ride and your friendship will be cherished into the eternities. We were always there for one another through sunshine or rain; through tears or laughter. We called it a celebration of life. Knowing full well that for every mountaintop, there is always a valley; but for every valley, there is always another mountaintop.

Enjoy your celebration, and God be with you until we meet again.

While I did not have the opportunity to get to know Tony well I know of his many accomplishments and his dedication to the education of deaf and hard of hearing students.

I am very sad to learn of his passing and know that many in our field will miss him. His legacy will live in in all the work he has done in our field over his lifetime.

I was so very sorry to learn of Tony's death. He was a valued friend and colleague. He was also an individual who had worked both hard and effectively so that individuals who are deaf/hard of hearing would be recognized for the abilities, dreams and accomplishments.

Tony will be missed for his laugh, his drive, his dedication and his friendship.

I knew Tony when we were students at Lamar. He was so much fun. I learned how to relax and enjoy the journey with him. He had a career that most would be envious of by doing what he loved with those who loved him. I will miss knowing that he is inspiring students with his experience and leadership. But I know that he influenced so many to be better than they knew they could be. You will be missed by so many. My prayers are with Tony's family and friends.

I am very sorry for your loss. Tony was an extremely kind person. The field of deaf education and particularly ACEDHH will miss his guidance and leadership.
