A good husband to Lisa Encinias for 38 years! As a young boy under Monroe Parkers wing he learned how to be a cowboy. He roped and rode every day from then on out. He trained horses and taught many people how to rope and ride. His life was filled with love and grace. He was a hardworking man and always made sure everyone was taken care of. Martin never met a stranger he didn’t love with his whole heart. Rodeo horses, cattle and his family were his world. He had a sixth sense, he was “One” with his horses and cattle.
