He leaves to mourn his daughter Tonya (Joe Kahlert), grandchildren Alexis, John Paul, Miranda and Aurora, his sister Bernadette as well as extended family and friends.

He was a founding member of both the Knights of Columbus Thomas Haney Council 5566 and the Archbishop Carney Assembly 2701. Martin was often seen helping out at parish activities.
Martin’s family was his pride and joy. He was very close with his daughter, son in law and grandchildren and enjoyed sharing in their lives and activities. He will be truly missed.
