WYATT ALAN MARTENSEN 2012

BROTHERS FOR LIFE 





BROTHERS FOREVER




Waylon, I know you would be so proud of your brother, Wyatt.

The brother who tormented you, so often, shared a bedroom with you,  tore down your Lego towers, played with your toys, got sometimes more attention than you, only because he was so Loud and rambunctious.

The brother who ate your chocolate cake and you called him a “hogger”.

The brother who made you laugh, cry, angry, happy and Love!

The brother who always tried to go out and get “that big buck”.  Only you got it first!  Always the lucky hunter!

The brother who shared your love for our family.

The brother who would do anything for you.  Stand beside you. 

The brother who would fight for you if needed!

The brother who loves you, Waylon.

The brother who will never forget you, or the times you shared together.



Wyatt Alan Martensen

The brother who shared your birthday.  Of course, he was born three years after you.  June 21st.  My favorite day of the whole year!



The brother who shares a passion for music.



Waylon at Ha Ha Tonka.




The group of crazy kids!  Always. 

This is a typical picture of the kids “acting” up.  But, these are the brothers and sisters who would do anything for the other….Don’t know why Rozalyn isn’t in this photo.  She’s probably standing off to the side watching.  Always watching!




The “Brother” tattoo.

Waylon, this tattoo is on Wyatt.  Notice the “Boone Dock Saints Cross”.

This is the brother who misses you, thinks of you daily……

the brother who will never forget you,

the brother who loves you.


Waylon….I love you……Always….Mom.

Ha Ha Tonka, The hidden treasure.

 

 

 

 

Ha Ha Tonka

State Park

 

 

The Castle

 

 

A special place in our hearts.

 

 

 

Waylon, 1994.

 

 

We moved to Camdenton, MO when Waylon was just one year old.  Rex was the Conservation Agent of Camden county.  During the 10 years that we resided in Camden county, Ha Ha Tonka became a favorite spot for us.  During the warmer months, we walked all over the trails and boardwalks.  We spent countless afternoons and days just enjoying the simple pleasure of walking and running and laughing.

 

When Waylon was just a little guy, it was hard for him to say Ha Ha Tonka.  So this is how he would always ask me to take him there...

"Mom, you take me to Honka Honka today?"

 

And, I would go, load up the 4 kids, Rozalyn hadn't arrived yet, and I would push the stroller around,

and walk the trails of Honka Honka.....

 

 

 

Our home in Camdenton.....

so many memories

in "this old house".

 

 

The other day, I took my grandson to Honka Honka...

and we walked those same trails....

and ran on the boardwalks..

visited the castle and tower..

we visited the natural bridge,

and the 316 steps...

although, we didn't go down the steps this time....

 

 

 

Leyton

 

 

 

As we were leaving, a couple that we had seen off and on that day was leaving also..

He asked me if I was from the area....

I said I had lived here for 10 years but had moved away..

He asked if I had spent time here when I lived here...

 

Oh yes, lots of days where spent here...

 

He then said, "this is kinda like a hidden treasure, we just stumbled upon it today....."

 

The couple was on their way to Branson...

but he said he was so happy to have stopped here...

 

 

And, I thought, me too!

I thought of Waylon, and my other children, that had spent so many days there...

So many memories...

 

"in our little hidden treasure..."

 

 

Leyton, I tried to get him in the same spot as Waylon's picture....

 

The tower.

 

The Natural Bridge.  Leyton was afraid we might see a snake.

 

The overlook, by the castle.

 

As I looked down the trails, I tried not to cry...

I tried to hold tight to the memories I have there...

and....

 

the voice that I can still hear, so loud in my thoughts..

 

"Mom, you take me to Honka Honka today....."

Waylon

 

 

Psalm 119:10

 

9 How can a young man keep his way pure?

By living according to your word.

 

10 I seek you with all my heart;

do not let me stray from your commands.

 

11 I have hidden your word in my heart

that I might not sin against you

 

12 Praise be to you, O Lord;

teach me your decrees.

 

14 I rejoice in following your statutes..

 

15 I meditate on your precepts

 

16 I delight in your decrees;

I will not neglect your word.

 

Waylon loved the Lord..

He demonstrated that love over and over...

 

 

 

 



Memories of Waylon, Aug 18, 2012. 2nd Annual 5 K

 

 

 

Jeremiah 1:5

 

"Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you,

before you were born

I set you apart;

I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."

 

 

Waylon did not die alone....

he entered a Kingdom. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This video is made in the memory of

Waylon Michael Martensen.

 

1990-2010

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Waylon the Imposter, February 2010.

 

 

 

Waylon always seemed to have a "ton of friends".

And then, he had his close friends.

And then, what he called, "his family."

 

I know I have mentioned Waylon's Northwest Missouri State University "family".  Waylon was beyond blessed to have the opportunity to share nearly 2 years with a group of individuals who wholly accepted Waylon.......

who took him in....and let him be who he was......

 

 

Rex and I will never forget Waylon's NWMSU "family"...

 

 

This video was recorded by Sean Feehan and Derek Roberts

 

 

 

 

 

Waylon, caught in the act!

 

 

 



Waylon, Dancing at Seaworld. 2008.

 

 

 

 

There are certain characteristics and qualities that help define an individual.  These certain qualities, trademarks, are usually known by many who are familiar with a certain individual.

I feel Waylon had many.

and if you knew Waylon, you know what I am talking about.....

 

Justin Hurt, one of Waylon's best friends, posted this on YouTube.  This was recorded at Seaworld.....California's High School band trip, to Florida in 2008.

 

Waylon played the drums 4 years at CHS.  He was a proud member of band..... 

Waylon marched to a beat all his own..

proudly.

 

This video shows Waylon dancing......

well......let's just say......

it shows Waylon.........in only what some may call,

 

Waylon style!

 

 

Thank you Justin, for always, always being there for Waylon.

We miss you, and you are always welcomed in our home. 

 

 

 

 

Waylon, just doing what he did best!

Making memories.
