John A. Martin

WARREN - John A. Martin, 62, of Warren, passed away  Sunday, January 9, 2022 at Trumbull Regional Medical Center with his family by his side.

John was born September 21, 1959 in Girard, the son of the late Frank and Louise Palmer Martin. A 1977 graduate of Girard High School, he later attained a Bachelor's degree in Applied Health and Sciences from Youngstown State University. He worked at Aptiv as the Environmental Health and Safety Manager, and was a St. Rose Catholic Church Parishioner.  

While John grew up in Girard, he moved to Howland after marrying the love of his life, the former Kathryn “Kathy” Smith on September 1, 1989.  Always the family man, John was happiest whenever he was riding his Harley Davidson, on a beach, listening to classic rock or just hanging out with his family.  He could fix anything and could be found most Friday nights at Margherita’s Grille making new friends.  

John is survived by his wife, Kathryn; his daughter, Kayla Martin (Nickler) of Columbus; his son, Ryan Martin and his wife, Corinne of Howland; sister, Rosemary (Rob) Hamilton; mother-in-law, Wilma Smith; brother-in-law, Kenneth (Audrey) Smith; and fur family Zooey, Charlie, Lola Bean, Athena and Gracie, along with many extended family members and friends.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his father-in-law, Robert E. Smith and two nephews, Andrew Hamilton and Edward Smith.
