Marti was born May 26, 1963 in Nampa ID to Bruce Ervin and Alice Farr. He was raised in Van Buren, MO and Nampa, ID. He met his wife and best friend, Kim LaDonna Farmer in Nampa ID, and they were married October 2, 2010. Along with a wife and best friend he also acquired 4 children and 13 grandchildren. Over the years their family grew to 23 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren. Marti worked hard over the years. Some of his most memorable jobs were as a roadie for bands such as Aerosmith, helped construct the raceway in Kansas City, cook and bartender at Johnnies On The Dock (Tacoma WA) and as a Fishmonger for Safeway (Tacoma WA), Dollar Tree as a Manager (Boise, ID), Dollar General in Guntown MS and his last Big Smoke (Nampa ID). Marti has traveled the country and had many more exciting jobs. While working all of these jobs Marti accumulated many great friends among coworkers and patrons. He never met a person who he did not become friends with almost instantly. His attitude and demeanor were such that everyone loved him from the start. He will be greatly missed by his family and his many friends that he has made over the years. Marti loved music, football, NASCAR, traveling with his wife, and spending time with his many, many grandchildren. He was very talented at playing the keyboard and trumpet. He could improvise and create beautiful music by listening to a song one time. He watched NASCAR and the Seahawks of course, every weekend almost without fail. He attended many graduations and birthdays of his grandchildren and looked forward to all the holidays and get-togethers he could spend with them. He spent time in Mississippi with Kim to love on his grandchildren there. He spent his last days making everyone laugh with his huge sense of humor.
