Brandon David Martin

With heavy and broken hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved son, Brandon David Martin. Brandon went to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on January 6, 2025 at the University of Kentucky Albert Chandler Hospital in Lexington, KY. He fought a brave fight against liver disease and diabetes among other health problems. He passed away peacefully with his father, mother and stepdad by his side, holding his hands.

Brandon was born February 22, 1997 at Baptist Hospital in Paducah, KY. He was known for his big smile and for his funny jokes that brought laughter everywhere he went. He was a loyal and best friend to many and a cherished son, brother, grandson, nephew and cousin. He loved to listen to music, sing country songs, wear baseball caps and collect all the good smelling men's cologne he could find. He loved his friends and family and will be dearly missed.

Brandon is survived by his father, David K. Martin of Marion, KY; mother, Jennifer (Jose) Gracia of Eddyville, KY; brother, Blake K. Martin, a student at Murray State University; grandmother, Carolyn Rose and her friend, James Driver of Marion, KY; grandmother, Peggy Bland of Golconda, IL; aunts, Deborah (Jason) Luton and Laura (Danny) Koon of Marion, KY and uncles, Ken (Amanda) Martin of Golconda, IL, Joe (Tina) Martin of Fredonia, KY and James Martin of Eddyville, KY and cousins, Meighan Koon, Brianna Croft, Michael Croft, Chelsea Martin and Sean Martin.

Preceding him in death were his grandfathers, James Kenneth Martin and his beloved "Pop" John Alan Rose of Marion, KY and cousins, Jerry Lynn Myers of Marion, KY and Jacob Martin of Princeton, KY.

We are comforted by the knowledge that he has a new body and is celebrating in Paradise with his "Pop", his best friend, Jason Enoch and many other loved ones.

Services are scheduled for 2 PM Saturday January 11, 2025 at Gilbert Funeral Home in Marion, KY with interment in Mapleview Cemetery. The family will receive visitors from Noon until service time Saturday at the funeral home.
