Bolingbroke, GA- James Gary Martin, beloved husband and father passed away in his sleep on Saturday January 4, 2020.
He was born on March 1, 1945, and he was the youngest of 4 siblings born to Wilbur Wilton and Ruby Keziah Martin. He is survived by his wife, Judy Martin; his son, Scott Martin, daughter-in-law Valerie, and grandson Jacob; and by his daughter, Hilary Zanca, his son-in-law John, and his granddaughter Angelyn.
Mr. Martin, or Gary to those who knew him, was and a solid, loving man, who once became a part of someone's life, was a ubiquitous presence.
