George Glenn Martin, Jr., 78, peacefully slipped away to heaven on Thursday, March 10, 2022 at home in his favorite recliner that Nathan brought for him.

He is also survived by his siblings, Cereda (Daniel) Rispress, Joe Brown, Mary Turner, Alonzo (Shelly) Martin, Mario Martin and a host of grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, family and friends and a special friend.

George's family moved to Ohio when he was a boy where he resided, raised his family and retired from the Ohio State University. He was a faithful member of the Abundant Faith Church under the tutelage of Charles Brown-Bishop and Ethel Brown-Pastor.
