Martin Kotler, age 47, passed away peacefully on May 25, 2014 at Centerpoint Medical Center. Originally from Wilmington, North Carolina, he spent the last 12 years in Missouri, with his wife Melissa. The one thing he loved more than ocean, was driving over the road, which he did for 18 years. In 2008, he suffered a heart attack, and his health slowly got worse over the years. He was a fighter. He leaves behind his wife, sister Keli, son Kell, and 2 step-sons, Dakota and Tank, and life long friend, Ronald. He was loved very much and will be missed even more.
