Paul A. Martin

It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Paul A. Martin, 36, a beloved son, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin, and friend, who left us too soon on January 26, 2025. Paul was born in Manchester, NH on August 5, 1988 and a lifelong resident of the area and a graduate of Central High School class of 2007.

Paul was the epitome of authenticity—unapologetically himself, and a force of joy to everyone who knew him. He had a contagious laugh and an infectious personality that could light up a room. Whether it was gaming, fishing, hiking, or simply spending time with friends, Paul’s zest for life was unparalleled. He was known for being the heart of every gathering, always doing something totally unexpected to get a laugh, and making memories that will never fade. His adventurous spirit led him on countless hikes, but it was his love for the people around him that made his life extraordinary.

More than a friend, Paul was family. He was a true example of kindness, laughter, and genuine love. Whether you were sharing a meal, enjoying an adventure, or simply hanging out, Paul made every moment fun and meaningful.

His presence in this world will be deeply missed, but his spirit will live on in the countless happy memories he leaves behind.

Paul was the son of Zoe (Berrio) Martin of Londonderry, NH, and was predeceased by his father, Kevin Martin Sr. He is survived by his devoted mother Zoe, his brothers Kevin Martin Jr. and his fiancée Susan of Manchester, Joey Martin of Manchester, his sisters Michelle Pelligrini of Florida, Jo (Martin) Pixley of Monson, MA, and Karen Martin-Vincent and her husband Steve of Manchester. He leaves behind many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and a wide circle of friends who will forever hold him close in their hearts.

Calling hours will be held on Saturday February 1, 2025, from 4-6 pm at Phaneuf Funeral Homes and Crematoriums, located at 243 Hanover St. Manchester, NH. A memorial service will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Paul’s honor to a charity of your choice that supports environmental conservation or mental health initiatives, causes he deeply cared about.

Rest in peace, Paul. You will forever be loved and never forgotten.
