Martin F. Byrd II

Martin “Marty” Byrd II, 67, of Wadesville, passed away Sunday, October 2, 2016, near Glenwood, Iowa. He was doing what he loved, returning from a cross country delivery, when he was detoured for a much bigger trip. He was born June 6, 1949, to the late Martin F. and G. Juanita (Weatherford) Byrd.

Marty was a lifelong baseball fan of the St. Louis Cardinals and coached Little League and Pony League teams for St. Wendel for many years. His love for clabber and poker games were a close second to his baseball.

He was preceded in death by his parents; sister, Frances Stokes; and brother, Kenny Byrd.

Marty is survived by his loving wife of 49 years, Lucinda “Cindy” (Boberg); children, Angela Byrd (Mike Schmitt) and Clint Byrd (Nathan Cicardi), all of Wadesville, IN; sisters, Joyce Budesheim of Harrisburg, PA and Phyllis McGovern of Waterloo, IA; and special aunt, Una Kuhn, of Mt. Vernon, IN.
