Wallace "Wally" Martin went home to be with our Lord on February 21, 2025, leaving behind his wife of 43 years, Cindy, daughter Sharity, and son Haven, as well as his "adopted" son, Billy Riley. He's also survived by two grandchildren, Gavin Foster & Brey Foster, great-granddaughter, Lorelei Brandon-Foster, brother Mike Martin, as well as other family members and friends. He was preceded in death by his mother, Octavia "Toots" Buchanan and his father, Ed Martin, as well as his son, Eddy Martin. Wally's sister, Judy and his brother Johnny, also preceded him in death.

Donations are being accepted to help his family cover his final expenses. A Celebration of Wally's life will be organized for Spring. Anything you can donate is helpful and very much appreciated, as well as your prayers. Our family thanks each and every one of you. Our family is simply devastated by the loss of our "Captain," as we navigate these uncharted waters...❤️

UPDATE: Thanks to all of the kind, generous, good-hearted people out there, we are SOOO close to our goal of being able to bring Pop's (Wally's) cremains/ashes home! We are taking this time to find the perfect urn/resting place for Wally, which will be placed next to the ashes of his son, Eddy, in a place of honor. Thank you all once again and may God bless you all!
