Martin DePauw Obituary

Martin Joseph "Marty" DePauw ObituaryMartin "Marty" Joseph DePauw, 54, passed away on March 19, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and cherished memories.
Born on January 8, 1971, Marty was the beloved son of Bob and Celine DePauw. He was a loving father to his two daughters, Brianna (Brady) and Taylor (Kory), and a proud grandfather to Gideon and Sullivan, sons of Brianna & Brady.
Marty was part of a large and loving family, growing up alongside his siblings Patti (Duwayne), Larry, Matt (Melissa), Lisa (Craig), Jim (Gina), and Niki. He was preceded in death by his sister Marie. His impact extended across generations, as he was an uncle to many, many nieces and nephews.
Marty found joy in life's simple pleasures-playing cribbage, sitting around bonfires, and making up games at the cabin. His creativity, humor, and competitive spirit made every gathering more fun. He was a loyal friend who could always be counted on for a good story, a helping hand, or a laugh when you needed it most.
Marty's love for his family will live on in the hearts of those who knew him, and his spirit will forever be a part of the lives he touched.
Mass of Christian Burial 11 AM Thursday April 10, 2025, at St John the Baptist Catholic Church, 680 Mill Street, Excelsior, with visitation starting at 10 AM. Interment Resurrection Cemetery, Shorewood, MN.
