Martin Ghere Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Martin was born on December 5, 1957, in Butler, Missouri, to Ralph Levi and Joan Elizabeth Cox Ghere, who preceded him in death. He lived a life filled with adventure, passion, and a deep love for those around him.
Martin was a proud graduate of Butler High School, finishing in 1976, and he briefly attended Southwest Missouri State University. His education was just the beginning of a journey that would take him across the country, igniting his love for travel that his parents instilled in him from a young age. Over the years, Martin would explore nearly every state in the Union, cultivating a sense of wonder and appreciation for the diverse beauty of this great country.
A true adventurer at heart, Martin found joy in the skies, embracing his passion for flying small planes which he and his father owned. The thrill of aviation was matched only by his enthusiasm for riding his motorcycle, offering him yet another avenue to explore the world around him. These pursuits reflected Martin's adventurous spirit and his desire to live life to the fullest.
Throughout his life, Martin forged meaningful relationships, leaving a lasting impact on those who knew him. He is survived by twelve cousins and his very good friend, Carolyn Forhy, who stood by his side through thick and thin. Their companionship enriched his life, providing joy and laughter that he cherished deeply.
Martin's life was a reflection of curiosity and a zest for adventure. He brought light to every room he entered and left a legacy of memories that will endure in the hearts of his family and friends.
