He was employed at Arvin Industries in Verona, Mississippi, and later retired from Cooper Tire & Rubber Company after 38 years of service.
Marty was a faithful member of West Heights Baptist Church, where he served in several areas of the church and participated in multiple mission trips. He dearly loved his Sunday School class and the fellowship it brought. Marty enjoyed junking, antique shopping, and spending time working in his yard. He never could pass up a good deal and loved finding a bargain. Marty never met a stranger and especially enjoyed time sitting on his porch.
