Though he may not have liked being the center of attention, he deserves to have his love honored. He was a man who valued hard work, honesty and the value of a man's word. He was resilient and willing to provide good advice to those who would listen. He leaves a lasting impact on those who knew him.

Mike was preceded in death by his parents, Paul F. and Nelda A. Martin, and his younger brother, Pat. He is survived by his wife, Kim Jones Martin, his daughter, Audrey Rice (Alan), and son Shane Martin, his grandchildren, Anthony Rice, Avery Drobney (Jacob), Abbie Rice, his great-grandson, Oliver Drobney, his sisters Pam Myers (Ken) and Nelva Martin, as well as many extended family and friends who will miss him.

A reception to honor Mike will be held on January 18, 2026, from 2:00-4:00 pm at Bellamy Funeral Home, 3551 Jimmy Lee Smith Pkwy, Hiram, 30141.

We find comfort in knowing his legacy lives on through the lessons he taught us, the love he shared and the happy memories we will cherish forever.
