Martin Feaver Obituary

FEAVER, MARTIN BERNARD
Born June 8, 1954, Died April 27, 2002. Martin was a creative person his whole life, working with his hands and mind to bring forth his vision into reality. His media were metal, automobiles, and real estate. Hobbies included weightlifting and health, motocross, music, and bicycling. He graduated from Del Campo High School in 1972, and from CSUS in 1977 with a B.S. in Business. For 12 years he owned Feaver's Body & Fender, Inc., then went on to work in real estate and to establish Martin Feaver Construction Company. Martin died in Sacramento at age 47 after struggling 3 years with Lou Gehrig's Disease (ALS), leaving behind his beloved son, Alexis Martin Feaver, age 5. Martin is also survived by his longtime girlfriend, Miriam Yunis; his grandfather, Walte Ashworth; his mother, Janet Feaver; and his siblings and nieces; Kris Feaver Ames, husband Geoff; Louise Feaver Crawford, her husband Doug, and daughter Jiselle; and Lloyd Feaver, his wife Meg, and daughter Madison. His death leaves a void in our family and in our hearts. We want to thank those devoted friends and Walnut Whitney Hospital staff who gave so much of themselves to meet Martin's special needs. A memorial service is planned for May 8 at 3:30 PM at Crosswoods Community Center, 6742 Auburn Blvd, Citrus Heights (family and friends welcome). In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the ALS Society of Greater Sacramento, 2717 Cottage Way, Sacramento, CA 95825.

My husband also died of ALS in August of last year. He was 47. I want to thank you for publishing the ALS society information again. Perhaps soon, so many people will not have to suffer as our loved ones did. My heart goes out to you and your family.

Dear Jan - I was so shocked to read about Martin in today's paper, and my heart goes out to you and his family. I can't think of anything worse than to lose a child. Having Martin as a friend of our family during his teenage motorcycling days was truly a pleasure. Heaven has gained a new angel who'll be able to fix anything up there that needs fixing. Love, Joye
