Kmlwx Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Absolute tragedy. I had the pleasure to meet and chill with Martin at a conference a few years ago. I am shocked that such a kind and friendly person is gone. RIP and my heart aches for his family. Never what you expect to open up Twitter to find out.

Fozz Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Very sad to hear, especially for someone so young The only time I met him was the 2012 conference and he seemed like a great guy. Condolences to his family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 No funeral and private burial per FB. Don't want to jump to conclusions but bleh. He was a good guy. Bday was like a week ago too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bday was like a week ago too. he had been absent from social media for a week, which was unusual for him...he was tweeting from the Weather Conference in Norman OK on the 19th, and he retweeted a photo of Hurricane Patricia taken from ISS on the 23rd...and that was it, nothing after that... god, he's way too young to be gone...

I did notice my Twitter feed didn't have any stuff from him in it. Honestly it's still really tough to wrap heads around. What a friendly guy - big time loss all around. I hope he was not in pain.

What a friendly guy - big time loss all around. I hope he was not in pain. He didn't respond to anyone who wished him a Happy Birthday on the 22nd...when I met him at the conference in Baltimore he was 21, i thought he was lying about his age because he acted way more mature than young guy in college...so my running joke with him was i always called him "old man" and whenever i wished him a happy birthday, I would always say "Happy Birthday old man!" He was so nervous to show up at that Conference because he had just bought Eastern Wx from Marcus, he wasn't sure how we would all react to him... good dude, loved the weather...

weatherwiz Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Just stunned by the news...he was such a great guy...very nice, always seemed to have a smile at the conference and had such a passion for weather. Way too sad. RIP Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sickman Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 It's always shocking to learn of the passing of a friend or acquaintance, but at such a young age... man. I'll always be thankful to him for saving the Eastern US Wx archives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurricaneJosh Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I don't mean to sound redundant with everyone else, but he seemed like a really good kid-- I'm 45 so to me he was a kid-- and I am just shocked and very sad to hear this news. Hard to process information like this-- it seems so senseless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvantHiatus Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 His father died in 2008, sad events like this eventually piece together over time and are not senseless, albeit unfortunate yet teach us an important lesson. We can only move forward with a greater peace of mind and human touch. I did not know him personally, this is just my two cents on the value of living a human existence. http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/pilotonline/obituary.aspx?n=martin-luther-cornick&pid=116240962 People may put on a brave face but inside they are hurting. Always remember to love and leave nothing up to chance. I don't know the details of his death but I'm assuming it was self-inflicted considering his young age.

Always remember to love and leave nothing up to chance. I don't know the details of his death but I'm assuming it was self-inflicted considering his young age. He was very young. There are a few things that could have happened I suppose. It does seem those that know aren't saying why. I guess it just happened today so more news will surface one way or another. I don't really disagree with what you wrote though I do hate to speculate myself. I didn't really know him all that well though we have conversed a good bit and I did meet him at conferences. It definitely bothered me to hear. It is especially sad when people feel like they have nothing and there is a whole contingent of people who feel otherwise about them.

Like everyone else, I'm more than a little frustrated when things like this happen and want people to know how to prevent this stuff. It seems like the best of us fade away too early and the weak persist without strong direction, at least in society as it currently exists.

Turtle Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 OMG! I just saw this on Twitter. I was at the NWA meeting in Oklahoma City and saw Martin out there. He was his jovial self, as far as I saw. Dear God, I can't believe this. He was SO happy, working full time as a weather producer at the TV station. He was going to help at next year's NWA meeting in Norfolk! Does anyone know what happened? --Turtle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvantHiatus Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Apologies for digging thru his stuff. He was just a flat out cool dude.

MidlothianWX Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Very sad to see this. I had a great time getting to know him on our Boston blizzard chase a few years back. He was a really knowledgable guy and even introduced me to Jim Cantore. May you rest in peace, Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2O Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 This is shocking. Like others, I had the pleasure to meet him at one of the conferences(maybe more than one?) and really enjoyed talking to him. He seemed destined for big things and was very happy for him when he got the TV gig. He is gone from us far to soon as he was someone who would have helped the weather community a ton RIP, Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
