Kevin E. Martin Sr.

January 30, 1953 - April 30, 2020

Sadly, we lost a great man on April 30th, 2020. He was born on January 30th, 1953 to the late Lester Alvis Martin and Mavis E Beadle and James B Aitken. He married the love of his life, Judi A Marquardt-Gibson on June 20th, 1992. Together they enjoyed numerous adventures making many life-long friends along the way. Kevin retired from New Haven Foundry after 27 years of service, and then started Mid-Thumb Lawn Service for the last 20 years. He was also a volunteer fireman for the village of Applegate for many years. He was quite the character who enjoyed various hobbies at the same time. But it was his love for restoring & owning classic cars that was well known. He was a member of the car group “Timeless Classics Car Club”. Every week the group would get together for not only car shows, but also for evenings out on the town. The most special thing about Kevin, is that he was the first person to lend you a helping hand and had a big heart for everyone he met. He is survived by his loving wife Judi, sons Kevin Jr (Deb) Martin of Lexington and Chris Gibson of Applegate and daughter Shanna (Jim) Bigger of Croswell. He also left behind grandchildren Sierra, Kaleb, Dawn, Michailla, Kaitlyn, Sonya, Donovan, his pride and joy Kaiden, and one great-grandson Leo. He also left behind his beloved siblings, Ken (Teresa) Martin of Croswell, Keith (Jo Ann) Martin of Maryland, Kathy/Kathleen (Stan) Clark of Mississippi, Aunt Karron (Phillip) Williams of Texas; brother-in-law Duane (Barb) Marquardt, sister-in-law Sheryl (Ron) Hooper of Deckerville; and many nieces and nephews. He was proceeded in death by his parents, mother-in-law Irene Particka, and sisters Kandy Ferriby and Kimberly Aitken. Visitation will be held at the Pomeroy funeral home in Croswell on Monday, May 4th. Graveside Services will be held 11 AM Tuesday, May 5 at Washington Twp. Cemetery. Rev. Barry Sheldon will officiate. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Martin-Aitken Family Discretionary Fund, or a charity of your choice in memoriam of Kevin Martin.
