It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Martin Baxter, who died in the early hours of this morning following a courageous battle with cancer. Martin faced his illness with remarkable strength and dignity, leaving a lasting impression on all who knew him.
Martin will be remembered as a truly kind and genuine man, whose warmth, character, and unwavering loyalty made him deeply respected and admired. A proud and dedicated member of the club, he embodied the spirit of what it means to be a true supporter. His commitment, enthusiasm, and presence over the years played an important role in the life of the club, and his contributions will not be forgotten.
Beyond his connection to the club, Martin was a cherished friend to many. He had a way of bringing people together, always ready with a kind word, a sense of humor, or a listening ear. His positive outlook and resilience, even during the most challenging times, were an inspiration to those around him.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to Martin’s family and friends during this incredibly difficult time. Our thoughts are with them as they come to terms with this tremendous loss, and we hope they find comfort in the many memories and the lasting legacy Martin leaves behind.
As a mark of respect and in celebration of his life, we will hold a minute’s applause on Saturday and pay tribute to Martin in a manner befitting his importance to our community. He will be greatly missed but fondly remembered by all whose lives he touched.
