Garry John Martin

Garry John Martin passed away peacefully on Friday, October 31, 2025, at the age of 70 in Victoria Hospital at London, Ontario. Garry was born on April 4, 1955, in Norwich, Ontario, and dedicated his life to both his profession and his passions.

Garry dedicated 37 years as a water treatment operator for the County of Oxford, ensuring his community had clean and safe water. After retiring at 55, he embarked on an exciting new chapter. In the first decade of retirement, he continued his love for woodworking, crafting beautiful kitchens and bathrooms. As this passion began to develop into a potential second career, Garry chose to fully enjoy a well-earned second retirement, embracing relaxation and the simple joys of life.

Garry became a passionate traveler, having spent 20 wonderful years with his husband, Keith Ramage. Together, they explored new places and created lasting memories, enriching their lives with experiences from around the world.

Garry will be deeply missed by his loving husband, Keith, as well as his siblings Dorothy Christo, Dennis Martin (Margaret), twin brother Larry Martin (Marilyn), sister Jean Nudds (Michael), and sister Sandra Martin. His departure leaves a significant void in the hearts of many nieces and nephews who treasured their time with him.

He was predeceased by his parents, William and Phyllis Martin, his siblings, Lillian (Doug) Wenzle, Albert (Sharon) Martin, and William (Nancy) Martin.
