I was on his co-hosted Internet radio show, The Morning Roast, last year. He invited me to talk about LGBT and political issues, and the other hosts kept reminding me to face the camera because a viewer was hearing-impaired.
I’ve moved to Columbus/Ft. Benning since last year, but I was still friends with him on Facebook.
I cannot believe Irving Martinez is gone, just like that. An ambitious and outspoken activist with a colorful vision of what life can become in Macon and a voice against political corruption. I wish we had talked more, and I’ve notified other friends in Middle Georgia regarding his passing. Solidarity to his relatives and his friends, especially The Morning Roast co-hosts.
