MARTIN RUBIN Obituary

RUBIN, MARTIN ALAN, 71, loving husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend passed away peacefully on December 16, 2013. Marty was born in Brooklyn, NY and moved to Miami Beach as a young child. He graduated from Miami Beach Senior High and the University of Miami. His love of sports was shown through his participation throughout his life in basketball leagues, local and national softball leagues and tournaments and being a faithful follower of the Canes. In the 70's and 80's "Marty Rubin's Sports Den" was the local store to shop for sports apparel and equipment. He sponsored and coached numerous youth leagues to encourage children to have the same love of sports that he had. Over the past 10 years he volunteered his services to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society as the Volunteer Coordinator for South Florida and mentored those who need support. Never will you meet a man who more faithfully lived for his family. He is survived by his devoted wife Kim, beloved children Marla (Peter) and Shari (Robert), dear sister Fredda (Katia), and adored grand-children Madison, Hunter and Bryce. We were not only a family but best friends. Marty was loyal, kind and devoted to his family, friends and the U. He loved to laugh and to make people laugh. He taught us about unconditional love, forgiveness, and perseverance. You will be deeply missed, Big Guy In honor of Marty's love of sports and children the family requests that donations be made to the Maccabi Fund at the David Posnack Jewish Community Center. www.dpjcc.org Funeral services will be held at 12:00 noon Thursday, December 19th at Levitt-Weinstein Beth David Chapel, 3201 NW 72nd Avenue, ollywood.

I played for Marty's sponsored Sports Den basketball team in the Dade North Summer league back in the early 80's. He was a good man and my father and I loved stopping in the store and talking hoops. He will be missed.

This is a tribute to my friend, Marty, who I just found out, passed away a few weeks ago. When I was first diagnosed with myeloma, Marty called me. We have met a few times at the Patient and Family Seminar in Boca and Marty always treated me like a long lost brother. I have never met a bigger fan of the the University of Miami than Marty. He will be missed. Marty was a 12 year survivor.

I just heard about the sad news from Lisa. My deepest sympathy goes out to Kim, Shari and Marla. Marty was a wonderful guy and it was great doing business with him during his heyday at the Spirts Den! He will be sorely missed.

I will always remember Marty in my life. He understood the ups and downs that a coach goes through and was a genuine friend. He always knew when to come by the basketball office and go to lunch at Cami's. Even after my career moved on from UM, he always stayed in touch after big wins or tough losses. And when we returned as competitors versus the Hurricanes, his friendship was always on display. I know how much he loved his family and I pray for their grieving hearts as they miss such a 'Good Man'. A good man that I will miss!

To the Rubin Family,

I had the priviledge of competing against Marty when he played and sponsored Sports Den. He competed hard but was always a sportsman. The last time I saw Marty he was representing NFL Players at the Miami Dolphins Facility where I work. I am sorry to read of his passing. A good man who left the world a better place than he found it.
