Tim was a U.S. Marine veteran serving during the Vietnam War era. He was a member of First Baptist Church Sheffield. Tim attended MTSU (B.S.), Motlow Community College (R.N.), James H. Quillen College of Medicine (M.D.). He practiced in Town Creek, Shoals area, and Jasper for 30 years, the last nine years at Shoals Primary Care.
His greatest love was his family. His passions were time with family, traveling, photographing nature and flowers, hiking (Cane Creek Nature Preserve mainly), geocaching, flying drones, and playing board games with family. Dr. Martin was a nurse, physician, and instructor to many people. They thought of him as a smart, compassionate, caring, listening friend and fighter, always with a smile and a joke. He fought a good fight against 6 cancers over 2 years never giving up. He will be greatly missed by patients, nurses, doctors, friends, and his family. Family would like to thank the staff of UAB Clinics, Keller Hospital, Northwest Alabama Cancer Center, and Shoals Primary Care for their incredible care and concerns.
Friends and family will serve as pallbearers.
