All of us at F.V. Martin Trucking want to extend our deepest condolences and prayers to the family and friends of Ron Martin, who passed away earlier this week.
Ron was a true staple of the log trucking community here in the Rogue Valley. Over the past 25-plus years, he contracted with us on and off many times. He was more than just another truck on the job—he was dependable, steady, and someone you could trust to get the haul done right.
Ron knew these roads as well as anyone, and he cared about the work in the way the best drivers always do. He built relationships with people all over this industry, and it’s hard to think of log trucking in Southern Oregon without his name coming up.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time. We hope they find comfort in knowing how respected he was among all of us who had the privilege to work with him.
Ron will be missed, but his mark on this industry and the friendships he made will last a long time.
