"#fishmagnet Rest well Maritno 💔.
"I’m sorry it took me a whole day to pick up the courage to write this.
"Losing you still feels unreal, Martins. You were my first male friend in the department and I was the same to you. Somehow, people started talking to you through me, and that’s how your own connections grew. But what we had was genuine one of those rare friendships that just made sense.
"I can’t talk my baking journey without mentioning you and your sister @Dex Cakes and Event who was one of my earliest inspirations in baking. Through her, I found the spark to begin my own baking journey. And Martins? He gave me some of my first real business advice. He believed in me before I even fully believed in myself.
"He was always pushing me to do more We had plans, Martins. We were going to recreate our old pictures this time around to laugh, pose better, and make new memories. But death came too soon, and now those plans are just memories. You were more than a friend. You were a light, quiet, thoughtful and supportive. I’m grateful our paths crossed, and I’ll always carry a piece of you with me.
"Rest well, Martins AkA @Fish Magnet🦈🧲 You will always be remembered."
