The following was posted on Eric Martin’s Facebook page:
My name is Michael Martin, I am Eric’s brother. I hate to pass this information so informally but I didn’t know any other way to reach many of Eric’s friends. My brother Eric died yesterday (Nov 18th) in his sleep from a massive heart attack. I dont have any information regarding his arrangements but you can all rest assured his wishes are being carried out.
The Comic Book Noise Family extends their most heartfelt condolences to Eric’s family and will be observing a week of Mourning.
Rest in peace my friend. We will keep the geek times going…
This is horrible news. I'm so sorry. He will be very much missed. My condolences to his friends and family.
Thank you for leaving a comment for Eric he would have appreciated it.
I have been listening to Eric and Mike for a little over a year now, but they became one of my favorite comic podcast almos immediatley. It is with my deepest sympythies that I offer my condolences to Erics Family, friends, and fans during this sad time. They always say, "the show must go on," but in this case something will be lost from the show without Eric.
R.I.P. my friend.
