A few weeks have passed since the cannabis industry lost Mike Martin, VP of Commercial at LuvBuds, but the impact he had on the people around him continues to be felt.
At MJBizCon, we have the privilege of working with thousands of professionals across the cannabis industry. Every so often, there are individuals whose reputation precedes them — not because of their title or accomplishments, but because of the respect they earn from those around them. Mike was one of those people. As a loyal exhibitor and valued member of the MJBizCon Advisory Committee, Mike brought perspective, generosity and a deep commitment to the industry that helped strengthen our community year after year.
Throughout his career, Mike helped build meaningful connections, supported industry growth and served as a trusted partner to many. The outpouring of tributes shared by colleagues, friends and peers over the past several weeks speaks to the kind of person he was and the lasting impression he made on those fortunate enough to know him.
While his professional contributions were significant, it is clear that Mike’s greatest impact was personal. He leaves behind a legacy of relationships, mentorship, kindness and genuine care for the people around him.
Our thoughts remain with Mike’s family, friends, the entire LuvBuds team and everyone who is continuing to navigate this loss.
To help support Mike’s loved ones during this difficult time, LuvBuds created a GoFundMe in his honor. The funds raised will go directly toward easing the financial burden on his family and supporting those he leaves behind. For anyone looking for a meaningful way to honor Mike’s memory, we encourage you to consider contributing.
Some people leave their mark through what they build. Others leave it through the lives they touch. By all accounts, Mike did both.
