Harry Martin Obituary

Harry Latane Martin died peacefully surrounded by family on July 16, 2024, from injuries resulting from an automobile accident. He was the beloved son of Judith and Harry Martin; brother of Lucy Martin McBride and Walter Reynolds Martin; uncle of Henry, George and Stella McBride and Louise and Claire Martin; cousin of Hamilton Leithauser and Anna McIntosh; and nephew of Mark Leithauser.

Harry was born and raised in Washington, DC, attended Beauvoir Elementary School and St. Albans School, graduating in l997. He attended Dickinson College, graduated from George Washington University, and received a Masters Degree from Trinity Washington University in Mental Health Counseling. Harry worked as a therapist in Washington, DC, until his death.

Harry's life was filled with friends and family, fun and uproarious laughter. He was passionate about music, motorcycles, physical fitness, philosophy, educational podcasts, his dog Zuzu, and spending time with people he loved, particularly in the Northern Neck of Virginia. His deep empathy was evident in his ability to connect with people on a human level. Remembered by many as the funniest person they'd ever met, he had a unique charm that will never be forgotten.

In honor of Harry's life, a memorial service will be held at St. John's Church, Lafayette Square, on October 19 at 11 a.m. Charitable donations may be made in his honor to Pathways to Housing DC at www.pathways- dc.org.

Dear Harry´s family,
I was deeply saddened to hear of Harry´s passing. He was not only a brilliant therapist who had a profound impact on my life, but also a cherished friend. His warmth, kindness, and dedication to his work and relationships were evident in everything he did.
Marsia, I remember how close you and Harry were, a truly lovely couple who shared so much together. Your love and support for each other were inspiring to witness. I can only imagine the depth of your loss.
To Mr. and Mrs. Martin and all of Harry´s family, please know that Harry touched the lives of many, leaving a lasting legacy of compassion and understanding. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this incredibly difficult time.
May you find some comfort in the cherished memories you have of Harry and in the love and support of those around you.
