Many of you Nawlins/Metairie Tiger Fans know him from the former Tyger Gifts of Metairie on Severn.

He loved LSU and LSU sports. He was a pleasure to talk to when shopping in the store.

RIP, Sir. Tell Wally, Wayde and all the other former players to keep watching over the rest of us.

Always loved Tiger Gifts. Bought a ton of LSU stuff from them before they went out of business.

Holy crap! So sorry to see him go...RIP!!! Grew up throwing distance from his house. Used to cut he and Ms. Grace’s grass as a kid. Frequented their old ‘80’s Tyger Gifts store on 4th street in harvey

I'm a she last time I checked.



Marvin's memorial post shouldn't be desecrated by the mention of Big Lee (and I realize it wasn't you who said it.)

Leroyal (his real name) Martin thought he was a player, alright. Just not sports. He was trashy and shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as Mr. Bankston or any good man or woman.
