The 30-year-old died just seven weeks after his wife, Shay, gave birth to their first child.
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.

WE all want to give our kids a magical birthday, no matter the budget.
And one mum has shared how she created a personalised Minecraft cake for her son’s birthday without paying a professional.
TikTok/@cara_mamato5A mum DIYed her son’s birthday cake using M&S bargains[/caption]
TikTok/@cara_mamato5She decided to make it at home rather than pay a professional[/caption]
Taking to TikTok, Cara, a mum-of-five, made her own delicious cake for her son’s birthday using M&S and Amazon buys.
“I feel absolutely awful but I left it way too last minute to order Noah a birthday cake, then I couldn’t get one booked in anywhere so thought I’d go to M&S and do it myself.”
She said her son was a big chocolate lover so grabbed the M&S chocolate Mini Bite Cake for £20 and the Cookies and Cream cake.
She used the cookie flavour cake as the bottom tier and removed the chocolate decorations and moved them to the chocolate cake that would suit on top.
To make sure the two cakes were secure, she stuck a few cocktail sticks into the bottom one before placing the other on top.
Next, the savvy mum had some Amazon bits to complete the cake and turn it into a Minecraft bonanza that Noah would love.
She was able to find a Minecraft logo and happy birthday sign made out of edible rice paper, so cut them out and placed them on top of the cake.
Cara also found some Minecraft figurines made of icing and stuck those on top as well.
“These are amazing,” she said, “And I just popped them all over the cake.
TikTok/@cara_mamato5The end results were perfect for her Minecraft obsessed son[/caption]
“Noah is Minecraft obsessed and Steve is his absolute favourite character, so I know he’s gonna absolutely love this.
The final cake was perfect for her son and the rest of her family to enjoy while celebrating his birthday.
Cara added: “I mean it’s not the best cake in the world but I know he’s gonna absolutely love it and it was literally on a budget.”
The clip of her DIY cake was shared on her TikTok account @cara_mamato5 and soon went viral with over 170k views and 2,800 likes.
The cost of a professional birthday cake can vary massively depending on how big you want it and what decor you want.
A basic sponge or character cake from the supermarket can cost between £10 to £20.
A small personalised custom cake from a bakery or cake maker can set you back up to £60.
While medium cakes, with multiple tiers like what Cara made can be an eye-watering £100.

In a surprising turn of events at Phuket International Airport, a typical day was briefly interrupted when a suspicious motorcycle, discovered to harbor a clandestine explosive device, was parked about 200 meters from the passenger terminal. The incident unfolded on the afternoon of June 25, as the airport’s bustling atmosphere was momentarily paused, but not entirely disrupted. The drama began when Phuket Provincial Police, following a crucial intelligence lead, orchestrated a tactical operation to detain a suspect believed to be plotting against the airport. The motorcycle, which had been abandoned, was found to hold more than just mechanical parts—it contained a ticking time bomb. The Region 8 Police Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) unit swiftly descended on the scene, their K9 companions confirming the grim presence of explosives. Despite an initial attempt to delicately deactivate the device, the complexities of its circuitry prompted a decisive measure to safely obliterate the explosive,…

In a peculiar display of inebriated defiance, a legless British tourist managed to bring the bustling heart of Pattaya to a screeching halt. The unconventional episode unfolded at the stroke of 5 PM on June 23, when bewildered drivers caught sight of a foreign man lounging leisurely across the entrance to Soi 11, just a stone’s throw from Pattaya Central Road. At the helm of the situation was Senior Officer Sub-Lieutenant Suchart Dusadee, who led a police patrol to address the curious roadblock. Upon arrival, they were greeted by the sight of a man in his 30s, enjoying a strange road-side siesta. There he lay, stretched out without a care, on the unforgiving asphalt, traffic piling up behind him like an exasperated chorus line. Attempts by locals and tourists alike to coax him from his lounging were met with stubborn refusal. One onlooker recounted the scene, shaking his head in…

In recent times, the bustling Chong Chom border market, located in the Dan subdistrict of Kap Choeng district in Surin province, has experienced a noticeable decrease in activity. This transformation is not due to a lack of goods or interest but a conscious decision made by Cambodian vendors to temporarily shutter their shops and make their way back across the border. This initiative was suggested by local authorities as a preventive measure until the border tensions ease. The calls from officials for cooperation prompted many vendors to commence a wave of sales, offering irresistible discounts ranging from 40 to 50% on various items, including shoes, mattresses, and even underwear. This effort is aimed at accumulating the necessary funds for their journey home, signaling a sense of urgency to mitigate the financial strain this situation imposes. The presence of military security officers, local administrators, and immigration officials at the Chong Chom…

The sun had scarcely risen when Pattaya’s notorious nightlife surged into daytime mayhem. Just a stone’s throw from the city’s legendary Walking Street, a wild melee ensued, capturing the chaos on a video clip that’s become the talk of the town. All this while the bars around blared beats as if the night had no end. This particular brawl erupted behind the Marine Hotel in South Pattaya, where onlookers, both Thai and foreign, encouraged the spectacle with rowdy enthusiasm. Even as the morning light streamed down, music pounded from a near-by bar, stirring questions about Pattaya’s enforcement (or lack thereof) of bar closing hours. At the heart of the chaos, two Thai women engaged in a feisty exchange of blows right in the soi. In the midst of this, a brave foreign tourist attempted to intervene, but the scene took another twist as two foreign men joined the fray, with…
