Casper native and Nashville recording artist Pete Martinez passed away on December 10th after battling cancer.

I was fortunate to have met Pete on several occasions and got to know him through his music and his love for our country.  Pete's style of music was the kind made right here in the cowboy state, true country western.

Pete could often be found playing at charity events and I'm pretty sure that's where I first got the opportunity to meet him and hear him perform.  Even though Pete has left us, like many musicians before he also left us a lot of great music to remember him by.

Rest in Peace Pete!  and I hope we meet again down the trail sometime!
