Jack Martin Obituary
- - Age 2 ½, died on Tuesday June 5, 2018, by accidental drowning while on vacation with his family in Mexico.
Jack was born on August 26, 2015, in Indianapolis, Indiana, to parents Ken and Amy Martin. He attended the Children's Circle Preschool at Second Presbyterian Church.
A joyful, outgoing two-year old, Jack never met a stranger. He woke up singing each morning and greeted each day with a smile and a sparkle in his deep blue eyes. He gave the most amazing hugs. He loved scootering around Meridian Kessler, playing iPad with his brother and sister, and watching Cars 3 and Captain Underpants. He wore his Spiderman and Superman costumes everywhere. His constant companion was Quinny, his favorite lovey.
Jack is survived by his parents, Ken and Amy; his brother JR; his sister Alex; his paternal great-grandmother, Prudence Martin; his paternal grandparents, Jack and Chris Martin; his maternal grandparents, Bernard and Toni Sander; 4 uncles; 4 aunts and 6 cousins.
Services will take place at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church at 5692 Central Avenue, Indianapolis, Indiana. The wake will be held on Tuesday, June 12, 2018, from 4:00-8:00pm. Mass of Christian Burial will be on Wednesday, June 13, 2018 at 10:00 am.

While searching for the obituary of a man from Carmel we were shocked and very saddened when we happened upon the obituary for Jack Bernard Martin. The heartfelt condolences of our family go out to his entire extended family.

Dear Family of Jack,
My heartfelt condolences to all of you during this very painful time. There really are no words to describe your loss of Jack. Such a beautiful little boy. I was listening to A Catholic radio music station this morning and all of a sudden the Spider Man song came on! It was followed by a news story. It instantly brought tears to my eyes as Rocco told me his friend Jack liked Spider Man. I took that as a sign that your Jack was with everyone in Spirit today. Again, my condolences to all of you.
