David Martz Obituary
Born Oct. 30, 1960, in Port Allegany, he was a son of William and Nancy Bell Martz. He was a lifelong resident of the area.
David went to Otto-Eldred Schools and was employed at Stead Lumber in Portville, N.Y. He was later employed as a mechanic and a bus driver for Stuck's Garage in Rixford for many years prior to retirement.
Hippie loved the outdoors and was an avid fisherman. He enjoyed working on small engines and tinkering in the garage. He loved being a papa to his two granddaughters more than anything.
Surviving are a daughter, Brittany (Cody) Stone of Rixford; one son, Brandon (Darien Nellis) Martz of Eldred; two granddaughters, Ryon Elizabeth Stone and Atleigh Grace Martz; two siblings, Melanie (William) Sampson in South Carolina and a twin sister, Deborah (Rob) Stuck in Tennessee; and many nieces and nephews.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by two siblings, Pamela Palmer in 2025 and an infant brother, William Martz Jr. in 1957.
Per David's wishes, no services are to be held at this time. A celebration of life will be held on Nov. 1, 2025, and more information will be given at a later time.

This is one of the hardest things I've ever had to do is say goodbye to Dave. My older brother by 6 minutes. I will miss you very much. You were a good person always lending a helping hand to whoever needed it. Watch over Mom, Pam, Gram and Grandpa and Gidget. Dave loved his children and grandchildren. Rest in peace Dave. I love you!
