Martin Hendrix Obituary

Martin James Hendrix Jr.
Fayetteville—Martin James Hendrix Jr., 69, passed away Thursday October 17, 2019.
Jim was a native of Kansas City, Missouri. In his late teens he was brought to Fayetteville, NC through service in the US Army. He spent most of his adult life in his beloved Tar Heel State and retired as the manager of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts in Fayetteville after 40 years with the company.
Jim loved the Lord, his family and his friends. His favorite moments were the times he spent with the people he loved whether at home, a ball game, church or on vacation. He will be remembered most as an adoring husband, a loving father, a doting grandfather, and a loyal friend.
Jim is preceded in death by Carolyn Hood Hendrix, the mother of his three children along with his second wife Geri Adams Hendrix.
Jim leaves behind his loving wife Gobbie Nobles Hendrix, his three sons, Col. Jimmy Hendrix III and wife Tera of Rock Island, IL, Randy Hendrix and wife Dee of Wade, NC, Paul Hendrix of Huntsville, AL, bonus son, Brandon Nobles of Chesapeake, VA, and 7 grandchildren Hunter, Jimmy IV, Ben, Lisl, Lyla, Abel, and Carsen.
In lieu of flowers, please make your donations to the Salvation Army.

Jim was a God fearing man, friendly, a good husband and one with a great personality. I will miss seeing him in church.I often commented to the people at Temple Baptist Church just how lucky Gobbie was to have Jim as her husband. He was a man I deeply admired very much. We will all miss him at Temple Baptist. Gobbie, may God give you peace and strength in the passing of your dear husband in the days ahead. One thing is for certain: one day you will see him again and be reunited. This is a source of comfort.
