Seymour Theodore Martin, Jr.'s Obituary
Seymour (Pat) Theodore Martin, Jr., 85, of Culpeper, passed away Friday, March 7, 2025, at Fauquier Hospital. He was born July 19, 1939, to the late Seymour Theodore Martin, Sr. and Lucille Evangelin Britton Martin in Wilson, Niagara, NY.
Seymour joined the Navy and served on destroyers. After his tour of duty was up, he got a job with the Federal Government in Telecommunications. This role led him and his family to serve overseas. They spent approximately 3 years at each of the following locations: Bangkok, Thailand; Istanbul, Turkey; Kinshasa, Zaire, Africa; Clark Airforce Base, Philippines; and Athens, Greece. Once he retired, he found himself needing to do something else, so he started working for Walmart, where everyone knew him.
Seymour is survived by his wife of 67 years, Mary Ruth Martin; sons, Joseph “Joe” Douglas Martin and Seymour “Pat” Theodore Martin, III and his wife, Christine; grandchildren, Braxton Ryder Sparks, Amanda Christine Martin, Kathrine “Katie” Danielle Martin, Megan Marie Gonzalez, and husband, Andreas, and Patrick Michael Martin; great grandchildren, Taylor, Olivia, Wyatt, Mia, and Mateo; sisters, Cheri Potocki and Karen Bohn; and a host of additional family and friends.
