Robert Craig Martin

In memory of Robert Craig Martin....

For once, I'm at a loss for words. The last time I actually caught a fish was when we left Stephen at the house, and went to Gilchrist at 5AM to catch flounder. We were so bad at fishing that we just cut the line and dropped the fish into the cooler...then tied up another hook and bait.

So many good times, Craig. You were a good friend, my man, there's no doubt about that. I'll still text you when the Astros make a dumb trade, and I can't wait to see you again. We're all better off, having known you. I miss you, bro.

Craig, you were such an inspiration to me all these years. I watched you handle your business on calls, so relaxed, but yet always ready to step it up if needed. You had an amazing way of calming people. I'll miss those late night 25's in Charlie and Edward we had, waiting for our shift to come to an end. Those were some great talks. I will miss teasing you about your "distinguished" look. RIP my brother in blue.

I'm having a difficult time believing Craig is gone. Wow, he was such a strong, loving, friendly, humble person. I am so blessed to have known him. He was a huge part of my life. He was so funny, and I'll always remember his cocky walk. We always used to laugh and tease him back in high school. He knew he was the man! I will miss him terribly.

The Acevedo's will surely miss that magnetic personality of yours. I have so many great memories that come to mind--your love of all things sports, my phone ringing after a golf game so you could rub your win in Jay's face, our New York trip, the soft spot in your heart for Kenney Chesney, and the genius that is your rendition of "The Fireman". I am proud to have known you and will cherish those memories each time I think of you. Love you.

Craig, from the time we spent together in the police academy to working in East Austin together and then reconnecting last year know that I will miss you dearly. You were like a brother to me. I will always remember the fun times we had, and the light hearted conversations we would always share when it came to Spurs and Rockets basketball. Mandy, I am so sorry for your loss. Craig, until we meet again I miss you brother.
