As many of our followers know, on January 29, 2026, Dan Barnhart lost his life in an automobile accident. Dan worked full-time at Martz's since 2016 and was a cherished member of our staff. Whether he was taking a fellow employee out on the river for an evening, helping co-workers and friends to get a start in the sport of angling, or setting up the annual Martz Catfish tournament, he was always there to encourage and help. Dan's positive personality, quirky grin, and witty sense of humor have been sorely missed here by both his hunting clientele in which he guided, as well as his fellow co-workers. He leaves behind a family that were the apple of his eye in his wife, Sheridan, and his two daughters, Hailee and Taylor.
We will be hosting a fundraiser in which proceeds will benefit Dan's family.
