Obituary for Charles E. Martin, Jr.
On Saturday, March 19, 2022, God called one of his cherished children home to be with him. He will be truly missed beyond words, but God was ready for him to take a seat by him in Heaven.
Charles Edward “Boo” or “Katy” Martin Jr, was born on February 9, 1978, to Charles and Linda Martin Sr. He attended Amelia County High School, where he excelled in football and graduated in 1996. After graduation he went to serve in the United States Navy for a period of time. He was employed at an early age and worked for the following companies: FW Vaughan, SB Cox, VDOT, Colony Construction, and C. E. Martin Hauling and Construction. His most recent employer was UPS.
He was baptized June 5, 2011, at Branches Runn Baptist Church. He was a member of the Men’s Ministry where he served as president and a member of the Ushers’ Ministry where he also served as president. He served God faithfully until his unexpected death.
Charles was an avid hunter. He loved to fish and spend time with family and friends. He was always the life of the party. Charles was a member of the Welcome in Social Club. The true joy of his life was spending time with his children.
