Maurice Martin Obituary
Maurice E. Martin peacefully transitioned to his heavenly home on 3/12/2025.
Born 8/8/1947, Maurice never met a stranger. He demonstrated respect, love, and kindness to his daughters through thoughtful acts. He exemplified patience and calmness in resolving conflicts, leaving valuable lessons and unforgettable memories. He often turned business trips into adventures, visiting national parks or Disneyland and teaching his children to drive along the way. Passionate about gardening, Maurice loved sharing his harvest with the community.
Fervently devoted to his faith, Maurice shared the Word of God and showed care for others, notably through mission trips to Mexico and years of service to his church & El Porvenir. Maurice cherished life's simple joys, sharing laughter over ice cream, sneaking french fries to his beloved dog, Mocha, and attending his great-grandson's baseball games.
Maurice is survived by his wife of 55 years, Peggy; daughters Tammy (Chris), Amy (Travis), and Angela (Christopher); grandchildren Tyler (Elizabeth), Kayla (Ray), Bradley, Davina (Louie), and Cheyenne; and great-grandchildren Nicolas, Libby, Liam, Evalina, Eiza, and Sterling.
Maurice's legacy of kindness, faith, and laughter will be remembered by all who knew him.
Celebration of life will be 4/1/2025 at 10am at Ridgecrest Christian Church. In lieu of flowers, please contact Amy at 505-333-0355 for donation options.
To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
