Kevin Martin Obituary

Kevin Wayne Martin, 60, of Riegelwood passed away at his home on Saturday, February 1, 2025. He was preceded in death by his father, Jerry Martin and brother, Kerri Dean Martin.

Kevin leaves behind his mother, Patty Martin; the love of his life, Judy Crosby; his son, Jeffrey Martin; special daughter, Sandy Powers (Donald); Judy’s son, James Marlowe; sister, Teresa Martin; grandson, Mason Martin and seven special grandchildren on Judy’s side.

Kevin was a fun and adventurous man. Just being outside gave him much joy. If he wasn’t working on cars or in his yard, you could find him hunting, fishing, riding his motorcycle, or going to yard sales with Judy. His love and kindness will be remembered by all. 

The family will receive friends from 5-7pm on Sunday, February 2nd at Bladen-Gaskins Funeral Home in Elizabethtown. A graveside service will be held at 12pm on Monday, February 3rd in the Bladen Memorial Gardens in Elizabethtown.
