Tragically, the 30-year-old passed away only seven weeks after his wife, Shay, delivered their first baby. 

Martin went viral after documenting his cancer battle. 

A video was shared to the couple’s Instagram account that was captioned: “May the force be with you from our angel force ghost.”

“Hey, it’s me, Tanner, if you’re watching this, I am dead,” the video started.

Martin revealed that he had a “heck of a life” and revealed he came up with the idea of publishing a video announcing his death around a year ago.

“Life was awesome. I really enjoyed it while I was here,” he reminisced.

“Hopefully, I believe there’s something after this.

“I’m excited to meet those people, and hopefully we’re hanging out now and making fun of all you nerds.”

In the clip, Martin compared death to an “adventure” but admitted that it can be scary.

Tanner was first diagnosed with colon cancer in 2020.

He was told the illness couldn’t be cured in 2023 and doctors said he had a life expectancy of two to five years.
