Keith Howard Martin, 68 of Springtown, Texas went to be with the Lord on September 14, 2017 after a long battle with illness. Keith Howard Martin was born in Springtown, Texas to Edward and Mary Martin on August 28, 1949. He was a lifelong resident of Springtown/Azle area. A Cowboy at heart, he was a heavy equipment operator and had dedicated his life to running equipment. He has traveled all over the United States and even into Alaska, running equipment which was his passion. He loved to get in some hunting and fishing time when possible. He took home many trophies back in the day. He loved nothing better than sitting around the campfire telling some tall tells. He will be missed!

Cowboy's Prayer
Heavenly Father, I pause, mindful of the many blessings You have bestowed upon me. I ask that You will guide me in my life. Help me, Lord, to live my life in such a manner that when I make that last ride to the country up there, where the grass growns lush and the water runs cool, that You'll take me by the hand and say "Welcome home Cowboy." Amen.
What lies behind us
and what lies before us
are tiny matters...
compared to what lies
within us.
