James Martin, II Obituary

James Ivien Martin II was born October 6, 1950 and peacefully passed away in his sleep on March 22, 2010. Jimmy graduated from Redondo Union High School in 1970, where he met his soul mate, Susan Gonzalez. At the age of 19 he was drafted into the Vietnam War. Stationed in Korea, he proudly served as a track wheeled diesel vehicle mechanic. He was blessed with two loving daughters, Lea and Lauren. He loved being surrounded by family and friends. His passion was the outdoors, from boating to fishing to gold mining or even just soaking up some sun. He was a natural born outdoors man and a proud United States patriot. He will be missed dearly by all who knew him. Services will be Saturday, 4/3, 3-6pm, at Martin residence in Redondo Beach. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Lauren Martin college fund.

Jim,

I'll always remember how many people commented on how you looked like Vincent Van Gogh and had the laugh of
George Bush the way he chuckled ha; also the deep down love and devotion you had for Susan, Lea and Lauren, and
thank you very much for serving in the
Armed Forces of our Country.

Your sister and brother in law,
Kathi and Bob Cupery

Jimmy and I were pals (and roommates for a few months) in the early 70's. What sticks out in my memory the most are fishing trips in the California Sierras in his black iconic 1950's VW Bug listening to Neil Young and Crazy Horse on the 8-track.

RIP Jim.

Hold tight to your memories for comfort, lean on your friends for strength, and remember love is all around.

These words are filled with payers and understanding, and more than anything else, with hope that each day ahead will bring a measure of comfort.

My sincere condolances to your family.

Jim will be missed by us and our thoughts and prayers go out to Lea and Lauren. I personally will always remember the boat that Jim had and we would go out for a ride along the coast of the South Bay or fishing off the rocks in King's harbor fun times and great childhood memories for myself.
Rest in Peace Jim!!

Love always,
Valencia family
