Missing you big bruv, we've been raising more than one glass for you over the festive season. Will be raising a few more for both you and dad in the next few days.

Martin, our dear son-in-law, such a brave and courageous man. Devoted to his family, had so much to live for, so sadly missed. Always in our thoughts. Res in peace. With our love from Doris and Bobbyxx

Martin McPherson = the life & soul of the party. Back when we were young, it was official that the party didn't start until Mac arrived. I remember walking into the first party we went together and everyone shouting "yeah Mac's here!! and the partying began!! He loved to have fun - danced like a mad man ( youtube has proof of this)! Always saw the best in people, always wanted to help if he could - Martin was a great man and all of us that shared our lives with him have been blessed. xx

So many fond memories of some wonderful times from the moment we met Martin. Fun nights out, fantastic Christmases, the wonderful moment when he phoned to say Max had been born - he was almost speechless!! Not forgetting his infectious laugh!! Martin had such a zest for life & his strength was an inspiration to us. Rest in peace dear Martin love you forever Fiona, Paul, Jenna & your wee pal Sam xx

For Martin, exceptionally courageous and loved by all. Rest in peace now nephew. Auntie Lynne x

As a child I always looked up to Martin (literally) and was in complete awe of him! But I couldnt marry him because I was underage and he was my cousin! One of my memories is Martin allowing me to use his CB Radio and talk to complete strangers for hours pretending to be a lot older than I was (aged 10). Later in life I luckily had the privilege of sharing some holidays in Devon with Martin, Gail, Lilli and Max. My children adored Martin and speak fondly about our times together. Martin is a true inspiration and will certainly be taking a leaf from his book xxxxxxxx
