Timothy Scott Martin

July 24, 2021

Timothy Scott Martin was born on October 10, 1966. Our world sadly lost a monumental man, at the age of 55 on July 15th. He passed away in his own home in Pensacola, FL, the same city he was born and grew up in. He graduated high school at Pine Forest High, and then went on to do two years of college.

He always loved science and the science fiction, history, and military history. He was part of his chemistry club in high school and would get access to the chemicals to do all sorts of “experiments” such as melting an entire speed bump at Pine Forest.

Timothy married Tammy Killam in the year 2000, Timothy was 34 and Tammy was 36. She already had three kids from another marriage, but Tim lovingly took them in as if they were his own. Singing Ben Folds or ELO or Jimmy Buffet to the kids at night or reading stories to the children and setting their minds alight with imagination.

Timothy worked for Solutia and then Ascend in his final years. But he has worn many hats, from being in the reserves in the military, to owning his own tech business that loaned people technology or software to use. Timothy was a massive fan of movies and music. More recently the Marvel line of movies and shows were his favorite. He always taught the kids about music, whether it was a new artist or how an artist started a whole wave of music. Timothy is a very intelligent and kind person.

He lost his wife Tammy Martin on March 19, 2021. But that did not stop him from being just as strong as he was with her. He changed and became more caring, and open about himself and his emotions. Timothy is like no other. He is truly one of a kind. Our simple human dialect lacks the words it takes to truly describe Timothy Scott Martin. But the best way to say it is pure love. He always put others before himself, his selflessness and want to help is beyond any person most know. He is wise and could always help, or maybe he would trick you enough to think he knew what he’s talking about! Timothy knows how to make people smile even if he did not know you. He will forever be missed and remembered by all that know him. We love you, Timothy.

ECSO: Man On A Rampage Commits Home Invasion And Carjacking, Injuring One Victim

January 8, 2021

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office said a man on a rampage committed a home invasion and carjacking, sending one victim to a local hospital.

Deputies said 31-year old David Neil Slocovich walked inside a home in the 8700 block of scenic highway and demanded keys while taking other items. The victim tried to call 911, but Slocovich took the phone out of the victims hand.

A physical altercation followed, but Slocovich got away by jumping off the condo’s balcony, broke a window on the victims car and fled the scene, according to the the ECSO.

Slocovich then traveled to the General Electric Wind Energy plant in the 8300 block of Scenic Highway where he took a company vehicle with a female still inside, deputies stated. He crashed the stolen van into a concrete barricade in the same parking lot, injuring himself and the female victim.

Slocovich then tried to steal an 18-wheeler in the same parking lot, but the driver of truck fought back.

Escambia County Sheriff’s Office Sergeant Ben Dunlap was the first to arrive on scene and took Slocovich into custody.

The female victim and Slocovich were taken to local hospitals for their injuries.

Slocovich, who deputies believed to be under the influence at the time, was charged with home invasion, depriving 911 services, criminal mischief, carjacking, robbery, kidnapping, aggravated battery and burglary.

“This seems outrageous, but this is true. It is as disturbing as it is scary. We are glad no one was seriously injured as this could’ve turned out very differently,” Escambia County Sheriff Chip Simmons said.
