Douglas Allen Martin

MARTIN Douglas Allen Martin, 64, of Westerville, passed away Sunday, July 15, after a courageous battle with lung cancer. Born June 7, 1948 in Harveysburg, Ohio, and raised in Xenia, Doug was the eldest child of the late Auzwood Martin and Phyllis Routzon. He was preceded in death by his brother Eric Martin and stepson Justin Marquart. Doug is survived by his wife, Sue; cherished daughter, Alison; sister Tammy (Bruce) Dawson of Dayton; nieces Hope and Kalyn; nephew, Dylan Dawson; numerous loving in-laws and their children; scores of "extended family", neighbors, and friends; and the "dog" Oreo. Doug graduated from Ohio State University in 1980 with a Fine Arts degree in photography. He worked as a photographer for The Ohio State University Communications Department and then freelanced as a photographer for 25 years. He loved music and recently developed an avid interest in cooking. Doug was a dedicated husband, father, and friend. We all will miss his love, sense of humor, and adventurous spirit. Visitation Thursday, July 19, 6-8 p.m. at SHAW-DAVIS FUNERAL HOME, 4341 N. High St. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to OSU Relay For Life, relayforlife.org/OSU in Doug's memory.
