Jeffrey Martin Obituary

BEAUMONT — Jeffrey D. Martin, of Beaumont, went to be with his Lord and Savior on May 15, 2015, at the age of 41.

Jeff is survived by parents, the Rev. David and Cathleen Martin, Sweet Valley, and his fiancee, Amy Williams, and her daughter, McKayla Williams, Harveys Lake. In addition, he is survived by his siblings and their families, Sara and Andrew Iorio, Dallas, Holly and Matthew Kubicki, Shavertown, Daniel and Aly Martin, Shavertown, and Rebecca and Josh Brey, Swoyersville; and his grandmother, Doris Walters.

He is preceded in death by his grandparents, Robert Walters; Elwood and Layiah Martin.

Jeff graduated from Muhlenburg Christian Academy, Hunlock Creek, and Luzerne County Community College, Nanticoke, with an associate's degree in criminal justice.

He worked at Camp Orchard Hill, Dallas.

Jeff was carefree, fun loving, kind and had a passion for serving God and others. He was active in the children's ministry, including Awana, at Cross Creek Community Church, and his love for the children led him to do many silly things, which endeared him to those who knew him.

He loved spending time outdoors. While he lived in Kalispell, Montana, he cherished the opportunity to backpack through the Glacier Mountains. He enjoyed his annual trips canoeing and camping along the Delaware River, and his time spent outdoors with his German shepherd, Bear.

He will be cheering on the Dallas Cowboys from Heaven.

Funeral services will be 10 a.m. Tuesday in Cross Creek Community Church, 370 Carverton Road, Trucksville, with the Rev. Neil Martin, officiating . Friends may call 6 to 9 p.m. Monday in the Cross Creek Community Church. Interment will be in Maple Grove Cemetery, Lake Township.

Funeral arrangements are by the Curtis L. Swanson Funeral Home Inc., corner of routes 29 and 118, Pikes Creek.

In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Cross Creek Community Church, 370 Carverton Road, Trucksville, PA 18708.

Martin Family & Amy,
While the loss of a loved one is never easy, it is most certainly the hardest when they are taken from us too soon. The loss of your son, and Amy's fiancee who left you at 41 years of age is definitely in the category of unexpected hard loss. There is so much heartache and a painful wonder of what might have been for Jeffery, Amy, and McKayla.
We offer our sincere condolence and heartfelt sympathy on your loss. May the out poring of sympathy, the kind acts of friends and strangers and the comfort of knowing that your loss is felt by many, help you all through this difficult time.
I pray for GODS blessing on you and your wonderful family. May you all find courage and strength to move forward in peace and confidence knowing Jeffrey's life was well lived.
Sincerely, Allen Keiper & Kathy Moretti
