Our Dad was many things to us. He was loving, honest, hardworking, generous, thoughtful, faithful and kind. Dad was fervent in his Christian faith and lived it continually and to the fullest, exemplifying goodness and truth.
He adored his wife, his family, his grandkids, his great grandkids and was especially fond of his cat.
It didn’t take much to please Dad. He most enjoyed the simplest of pleasures: fishing, working on cars and electronics, watching westerns, listening
Dad has always relished in a good joke and reveled in playing ornery pranks. He was never so tickled as when he successfully pulled off a prank that caused his subject to overreact as if just seeing a ghost!
In 1976, Dad started his own business, Martin Termite and Pest Control which he owned and operated until retiring in 2009 serving many clients who praise his work to this day.
Dad also served in the Army during the Korean War era.
We considered ourselves to be uniquely blessed to have a father we consider to be the greatest.
We will ever love and miss you, Dad.

It didn’t take much to please Dad. He most enjoyed the simplest of pleasures: fishing, working on cars and electronics, watching westerns, listening
to Gospel and old-school Country Western music, playing with his pets, watching his grandchildren play and eating an ample serving (or servings) of beans and cornbread. He was never without something to satisfy his sweet tooth, a practice he passed on to his children and becoming something of an addiction.

He was my Dad, my friend, my mentor. I am honored to be on of his children and I will miss him every day for the rest of my life. I know I'll see him in heaven some day. I love you so much Daddy..
Brother Gerald was such a great man and I have good memories of him. May his love ones feel a deep sense of peace as they say goodbye and may they cherish the memories of this man and honor his life's work. John Bannister
My sincere condolences for the loss of your loved one. Find strength and comfort from God. At 2 Corinthians 1:3, 4 it describes God as "the God of all comfort who comfort us in all our trials". This promise assures the family that by turning to God you can receive help during this difficult time. The bible also promises that soon death will be no more Revelation 21:3, 4 and the hope of a resurrection John 5:28, 29.
Gerald Martin was one of the kindest men I ever had the pleasure of knowing. Whether he knew it or not, he impacted my life in a positive way as a young man. This world has lost a hero but heaven has gained one of it's own. Gods speed Gerald. I know you will be missed.
