Dewey Albert Martin Jr.

He was born in Portland on April 26, 1947, a son of Dewey and Theresa (Belfontaine) Martin.

He attended catholic schools in Portland while growing up. After, he joined the Army National Guard, where he served for 5 years. Later he would obtain a degree from the University of Southern Maine as well as the Maine Law Enforcement Academy. He began his lifelong career in law enforcement, joining the Portland Police Department, rising to acting chief, before his retirement after 20 years. Following that, he worked for the drug enforcement agency and as deputy chief of the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Department.

Dewey met the love of his life and soulmate, Patricia, in 1970 and married in 1972. They had one child, a daughter, Kristen with which they built their life around family and love. They were married for 48 years before Patricia’s passing in 2020.

He loved to travel with his wife and they spent time touring both Europe and America. He was also an avid fan of New England sports, especially the Patriot’s, never missing a game.

Dewey will be missed by all those that he touched. He was a wonderful father, grandfather & friend. We find solace that he is reunited with his best friend and bride, Patricia.

He was predeceased by his wife, Patricia; parents, Dewey Sr. and Theresa, and nephew Floyd.

He is survived by his daughter, Kristen and son-in-law Marc Levy of Westbrook, along with three grandsons Bryan, Jackson & Daniel; a sister, Doreen Devou, of Portland; sister-in-law, Barbara Sipos of Bethlehem, Pa. As well as nieces & nephews of Portland, Pennsylvania & California.

Per his and family wishes, a private Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated. Interment will take place at Calvary Cemetery next to his wife.
