Martin D. Chicoine, age 76, of Stillwater, NY passed away peacefully at home with his family by his side on Wednesday, June 4, 2025. Martin was born in Troy, NY in 1948, the son of the late Edward F. and Eleanore (Petersen) Chicoine. He was also predeceased by his wife of 34 years: Kathleen F. Chicoine.
Martin attended Troy High School, and following his departure from school, he went to work for Kustom Rehab, fabricating custom seating for wheelchairs and mobility devices.
When Martin wasn't hard at work, he enjoyed hunting and fishing, and was Mr. Fix-It to his loved ones, always tinkering and fixing things. He deeply loved his family, and although he was a man of few words, he had a deep wisdom that was a source of calm and guidance for those who took the time to listen.
He married his soul mate, Kathleen F. Kane, on February 15, 1969, and they built a life together, raising three children, and relying on one another until her passing on June 5, 2003, nearly 22 years to the day before her husband.
Martin leaves behind his three children: Martin (Amy) Chicoine, Melissa Chicoine, and Kimberly (Tyrone) Gladden; seven grandchildren: KayCee, Madison, Alicia, Timothy, Nevaeh, Derek, and Justin; and three great-grandchildren: Caliana, Cooper, and Akira.
Calling hours will be held on Tuesday, June 10 from 4:00 pm -7:00 pm at the Catricala Funeral Home, 1597 Route 9 Clifton Park, NY.
A funeral mass will be held at 10:00 am on Wednesday, June 11 at All Saints on the Hudson, Hudson Avenue, Stillwater, NY
Burial will be in Memory's Garden Cemetery in Colonie following the Mass.
Contributions in memory of Martin may be made to the American Cancer Society online at cancer.org

Marty, I hope you are looking down and smiling...knowing the impact you had on my family and I. You filled a void for us, made us laugh, and we will not ever forget the way you made us feel important, special, and valued. I pray that God welcomed you with open arms, and you are finding lots of fun things to tinker with. We love you, and miss you so very much. Sending our thoughts and prayers to your family during this time. Maybe you could give us a sign that you are ok...
