Steven Glen Martin

Steven Glen Martin of Boulder, Colorado passed away at home on November 18, 2022 at the age of 68. He was born in San Antonio, Texas on June 26, 1954 to Glen A. Martin and Dorothy Fickes Martin, both of whom have predeceased him.

He attended San Antonio Academy, Texas Military Institute, Trinity University, and The University of Texas. Steve began his professional life in the oil and gas industry where he was no stranger to hard work. A career in sales took him to New Mexico and California, then ultimately to Colorado where he spent time in the lighting industry followed by his return to the oil and gas industry.

Always eager to learn, Steve was a man of many interests and talents. At the age of 17 he spent a month in Africa, an experience which profoundly affected him. He loved to travel and was fluent in Spanish. He was a competitive shooter in school, and later in life, a pilot of both helicopters and small aircraft, a scuba diver, an amateur radio operator, a photographer, and a darn good cook, barbequer and baker. The stack of books by his bedside was always tall and varied. There was not much that he could not fix, and if asked for help Steve was always willing to step up. As President of the Boulder Rifle Club for six years from 2014 -2020, Steve accomplished much and skillfully steered the club in a positive direction.

He is survived by his sister Dale A. Martin, brother Charles R. Martin, niece Darcy M. Payne and Brandon T. Payne, great-niece Dawn McCastor and his life partner of 32 years, Margie Wortzman, as well as Olive the Airedale Terrier.

There remained much in life that Steve wished to accomplish but in his own words, " the Great Maker must have other plans for me." His laughter and love of a good joke or story will be greatly missed by the many friends he made.
