David Ray Martin, 76 of Gladesville, went to be with the Lord Sunday, Oct. 24, 2021. He was born in Fellowsville, Jan. 24, 1945, son of the late Dell and Hazel Simpson Martin.
David worked at West Virginia University for 42 years until he retired in 2011. He enjoyed hunting, being outdoors, making people laugh and, most of all, spending time with his family. He knew no stranger and always had a joke or wise crack to say.
David is survived by his wife of 52 years, Ruth Renee (Bucklew) Martin; four sons, Eric Martin and spouse Alisa, of Kingwood, Curtis Martin and spouse Anita, of Masontown, Christopher Martin and girlfriend Marcie, of Gladesville, and youngest son, Anthony Martin, of Gladesville; one sister, Joyce Eagle, of Fellowsville; and several nieces and nephews.
In addition to his parents and grandparents, David was preceded in death by four brothers, Raymond, Everett, Dorsey and Roy; and one sister, Betty Bell.
Family will receive friends at Bolyard Funeral Home, from 11 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 27, 2021 until time of service at
1 p.m., with Pastor Terry Hagerdorn officiating. Interment will follow at Gladesville Cemetery. Due to COVID-19, the family requests that all who plan to attend wear protective face coverings or CDC- approved masks. Bolyard Funeral Home is honored to serve the Martin family.
