Nathan A. Martin

Parsonsburg - Nathan Alan Martin, age 29, died peacefully, surrounded by his loving family, on Saturday, July 7, 2018 at Peninsula Regional Hospital in Salisbury, MD. Born June 10, 1989, in Salisbury, the son of Linda Martin DeMoss and companion Art Mantlo of Parsonsburg, and the late Kendall Alan Martin (2016). He is survived by maternal grandparents Richard and Judy Van Buskirk of Muncy, PA, as well as his aunts and uncles, Karen and Rod Spring of Muncy, PA, Stacey and John Hartnett of Wilmington, DE, Kevin and Andrea Van Buskirk of Smyrna, DE, Kip and Stephanie Martin of Ocean Pines, and Robert and Barbara Martin of Murrells Inlet, SC. Also surviving are cousins, Andrew and Nicole Spring, Adrienne and Colton Myers (Benjamin), Joshua and Jeremy Hartnett, Nathaniel Weir, Briar, Noah, and Bodhi Van Buskirk, Bryan and Kelli Martin, and Rob Martin-Coronado. He is survived by many loving friends. Preceding him in death were his paternal grandparents Robert and Doris Martin.

Nathan was a much loved son, friend and cousin. He battled for years with depression and addiction. This battle was traumatic on not only himself but for all that loved him. There is no pain like that of watching your loved one dealing with an addiction and knowing that they are no longer in control, but are controlled by a powerful substance.

Nathan was a graduate of Parkside High School, Class of 2007. He had been employed by M.E.D. Mechanical as a welder. He enjoyed woodworking, and going to amusements parks. He and his mother shared a love of craft making and fishing. Nathan was a fan of the Baltimore Orioles and Ravens. Nathan loved animals and leaves behind his beloved cat, Gary and dog Daisy. Nathan will be deeply missed by his loving mother and his many friends and family.
