My Condolences on behalf of the Yearley Family. He will be missed! Marten and Laurie was always a couple who you could count on for their love, support and help. We were lucky to have spent some vacation time with them in Florida, last year. We had lots of fun.

It is hard to believe he is not with us anymore, but one thing is for sure, he is with his Heavenly Father and family who have already been called home. He leaves behind lasting legacy’s in all who have known him.

Dear Laurie & Family: There are no words to express our shock and sadness when Jason called to let me know of Marten’s passing. There is a church family at Knox Bayfield that is deeply grieving, and we can only imagine how you and your family are struggling with Marten’s sudden and unexpected passing. We feel so grateful to have wonderful memories of Marten who involved himself in all aspects of church life, from preaching, helping with the fundraisers, bringing food to the luncheons, greeting and just being that person who would come to me and say, “what can I do to help or what do you need.” Not to mention, we will miss his singing voice because heaven knows we needed him leading us! I struggled on Sunday looking at the stool at the front of the church that he would preach his sermons from. Just know Laurie that we will be there for you and your family and don’t hesitate to call on us. Our congregation will be keeping you in our thoughts as you and your family mourn this huge loss.
Our heartfelt condolences from Brenda McLean on behalf of the Church Family at
Knox Presbyterian Church, Bayfield

Losing Marten suddenly is such a loss to us and to so many in this community. Marten absolutely believed in helping others, often without thought to payment or even appreciation. I can hardly imagine the loss to Laurie and to their family. May they find strength in the days ahead.

Laurie, your husband Marten has always held a special place in my heart. I’ve cherished the numerous local road trips we embarked on, exploring the charming towns of Kitchener and Eriea. We’d visit music stores and unique restaurants, and his passion for music was truly inspiring. I fondly remember the times we sang together in various choirs, accompanied by him on the piano or organ, and occasionally with him playing his accordion. I will deeply miss him.

Dear Family,

Gecondoleerd met het zo plotselinge verlies van Marten.
Ofschoon ons bestaan zich op grote afstand van elkaar afspeelt, zijn er toch ook een aantal keren geweest dat wij elkaar getroffen hebben. In het bijzonder herinner ik mij hierbij de mooie verhalen van mijn ouders (Luitzen en Anna) toen op bezoek in Canada, die met Marten in zijn voor ons doen bijzonder grote truck een dag op pad geweest zijn. Een bijzondere ervaring voor hen!
Sterkte voor de komende tijd!

I was shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of Marten. He was such a devoted grandfather and cherished his time with the grandchildren. He would share stories with a chuckle when he arrived at my daycare to drop off or pick up his grandchildren. What a tragic loss. He will be missed by so many. Cherish all those special moments and memories. My thoughts are with the family during this difficult time.

Laurie, Jason, Janelle, and families,
Our deepest condolences to you all.
May your happy memories give you peace and comfort during this challenging time.

Dear Laurie and family I am sending my deepest sympathy to you and your family at this painful time. Marten was an exemplary person, who shared his musical talents with our community. When needed, he preached at various churches. I had the privilege of hearing him preach. You were aware of his love for the Lord from what he conveyed. While you are mourning his loss; others are rejoicing to meet him behind the veil.

Dear Laurie and family,
We extend our sincere condolences on the sudden and very sad passing of Marten. He was such a good friend to my parents Stewart &Lil and their time spent together at Caven Presbyterian Church. Dad enjoyed so much his ride-alongs in the truck with Marten. He will be so missed by all who knew and loved him.

Laurie, Janelle, and Jason,
So heartbroken to learn of your loss. Marten was a wonderful and kind person. Sincere condolences.
