John Martin Jr.

John J. Martin Jr., age 69, passed away on January 19, 2022, at Aurora Sheboygan Memorial Medical Center.

He was born on August 4, 1952, in Green Bay to the late Annabelle (Manning) and John Martin Sr..  After graduating high school, John furthered his education earning a degree in engineering.  John was currently employed as a plant manager at Foam Tech in Milwaukee.

On November 20, 1982, John married the love of his life Patty Meyers at United One Church of Christ in Sheboygan.

John loved spending his time woodworking, socializing at different establishments, yard working, playing backyard games, skiing, traveling, but his favorite was sitting around the campfire on many camping trips taken over the years.  Above all, family meant the world to John, especially spending time with his grandchildren.  His sense of humor and love for his life will be deeply missed by all who were lucky enough to know him.

John was preceded in death by his father - John Martin Sr., Mother - Annabelle (Manning) Martin, Father-in-Law - Claude Meyers.
