MIKE MARTIN  

It is with sad news I just learned that a alumni of Berea Class of 1968, U. S. Navy Seal Vietnam veteran and patroit, Mike Martin has passed away in Washinton D.C..  

Here is the post his sister, Patty Martin, left on Mike's FB page about 2 hours ago.:

"Wednesday night my brother Mike Martin made it in from his travels from San Diego to Washington DC on his Harley Davidson. He rides to the Wall every Memorial Day weekend to pay his respects. He was a retired Navy Seal , Master Chief, Belonged to Frogman Motorcycle Club. Tattoo artist. President of the Tattoo Alliance(something like that). I can't think. I can go on and on. He was a very respected man. He died unexpectedly Thursday morning. He did die peacefully. We are still in shock. Happy he was here visiting when this happened and not riding back to California. It could have happened anywhere. I will miss him and i loved him very much. Mike, I wish you would have written a book on your life. Mike Martin you will be missed by so many people. I love you brother. I can't believe this is so."
