Gordon F. Martin

Gordon F. Martin, age 87, a lifelong resident of New Albany, Indiana, passed away on November 27, 2023. He was one of three children born to the late Forest Martin and Gertrude Bates on November 25, 1936. After high school, Gordon would later marry the love of his life of 65 years, Connie (Koehler) Martin, and together they would start a family of their own. Gordon was a hard worker and took pride in providing for his family. He worked for Floyd County as an Engineer and Surveyor for many years until his retirement.

Gordon was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He was a man of integrity, a provider for his family, and had a heart of gold, and last but not least a funny sense of humor. In his spare time, Gordon was an avid bowler and played in a league in New Albany for many years. After his family, his love for his dogs and other animals came second. He loved to feed the birds and squirrels and any other stray that may come along. Gordon was much loved and will be greatly missed!

Along with his parents, Gordon is preceded in death by a granddaughter, Angela Martin, and two brothers, Orrill Martin, and Darrell Martin.

He leaves behind his loving wife, Connie Martin; children, Carrie Martin (Janene), David Martin (Susan), and Robin Stubbins (Maurice); three loving grandchildren, Nicole Martin, Jalen Stubbins, and Ethan Martin (Makala); and one great-grandchild, Everleigh Martin.

In Gordon's memory, donations may be made to Riley Children’s Hospital, 705 Riley Hospital Dr. Indianapolis, Indiana 46202, or at rileychildrens.org or to any local animal shelter of your choice.
