Larry Gene Martin, 67, of Orange, Texas, passed away on April 22, 2020, at his home.
Born in Silsbee, Texas, on September 13, 1952, he was the son of Everett Martin and Dorothy (Welch) Martin. Larry proudly served his country in the United States Army. He then went on to work as a planner for the MeadWestvaco paper mill. Larry was a faithful member of the First Church of Nazarene in Orange. He loved spending time outdoors and found joy in coaching baseball and playing disc golf. He took great pride in designing and building the disc golf course at his church that is still enjoyed by many members of the community. Larry was a loving husband, father, and grandfather who adored his family. He will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing and loving him.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Everett and Dorothy Martin; his stepdaughter, Natalie Lingo; and his brother, Chuck Martin.
He is survived by his loving wife, Ann (Crumpler) Martin of Orange; his sons, Brent Martin of Dallas and Jacob Martin and wife Harley of Malibu, California; his grandchildren, Skyler Menard, Kayla Lingo, and Zoe Lingo; his grandchild on the way, Margot Abigayle Martin who is expected to make her debut in August; and his siblings, James Martin and wife Margaret of St. Louis, Missouri and Ann Garza and husband Hector of Lumberton.
A private graveside service will be held at Hillcrest Memorial Gardens, under the direction of Claybar Funeral Home in Orange.

Robert and I use to spend time with Larry in our younger years. We alway had a good time playing card and going to the lake. His oldest son and our sons had fun playing together. Brent I know your dad was so proud of you and the young man you have become. The last time we talked to Larry was a year ago at the State Fair in Beaumont at that time we met his wife Ann. Ann and Brent we are praying for y’all during this difficult time.

I have many fond memories of spending time in Everett and Dorothy's home when we were all kids and they lived in Buna, Texas. Everett was my mom's nephew so we spent a lot of time together in our younger years as cousins often do. May God's peace bring the family comfort during this time of sorrow.

To his sons, we’re very sorry to have never met you and to his wife, we know that you had a very happy life together. Larry Martin was one of the good guys and he will be missed by many.
