Martin died Sunday after being in the intensive care unit of a hospital in Mobile, Alabama, for several days following a motorcycle accident, Clingstones general manager Pete Laven told the Ledger-Enquirer. “He was just one of those guys who never met a stranger,” Laven said. “He was a talented chef, but he also was just a gregarious guy. … He loved to go see live music, so those were his two passions: food and music.” Laven credits Martin for helping the Clingstones, the Class AA affiliate of the Atlanta Braves, elevate the fan experience at their ballpark in Columbus. “He was really a key part of that,” Laven said. “… He was hired by the Oak View Group , our third-party concessionaire, and he made an impact immediately, especially with the Aflac Club and the suites, coming up with those menu s.
