Martin William Egan's Obituary
Martin William Egan passed away at his residence, Sunday, January 25, 2026, surrounded by love and the memories of a life well lived. He was born on January 27, 1949, to the late William and Eleanor Egan in Alexandria, VA.
He was a devoted husband, proudly married for 56 years, and a loving family man who treasured every moment spent with those closest to him-especially his grandchildren, whom he loved dearly.

Following his military service, he built an accomplished career in the aerospace and defense industry, working for Lockheed Martin, formerly Martin Marietta, for over 30 years. Through dedication and expertise, he retired as a Senior Communications Engineer, a role that reflected his strong work ethic and technical skill. Above all else, Martin's greatest joy was his family. His quiet strength, steady presence, and unwavering love will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who knew him. Martin William Egan leaves behind a legacy of love, service, and devotion that will continue through the lives of his family for generations to come.
