September 27, 1970 ~ July 5, 2026 (age 55)
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Guy Wesley Martin, who passed away on July 5, 2026, at the age of 55.
Guy was born on September 27, 1970, in Opelika, Alabama, to the late Jan Martin and Rex Martin. He was preceded in death by both of his parents and his brother, Matthew Arnold.
Guy proudly served his country in the United States Navy. His service reflected his sense of duty and commitment, qualities that remained with him throughout his life.
Guy was full of mischievousness and never met an adventure he didn’t want to take. His playful spirit, quick smile, and love for making memories with family and friends will be remembered by all who knew him. An avid Auburn University football fan, he rarely missed an opportunity to cheer on the Tigers. Whether watching the game with family and friends or proudly wearing orange and blue, his passion for Auburn was a part of who he was.
In recent months, Guy accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior and turned his life over to God. His faith brought him hope and peace, and his family finds comfort in knowing he is now at rest in the presence of the Lord.
Guy is survived by his loving wife, Amy Vinson Martin; his son, Brandon Martin (Angie); his daughter, Carissa Cofield; his son, Jacob Walburn; his cherished grandchildren, Elias and Ellianna; his sister, Molly Martin Clark; and many extended family members and friends who will forever treasure his memory.
The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to Billy McClendon for faithfully sharing the Gospel with Guy and for the impact he had on Guy’s spiritual journey. They also extend their sincere appreciation to Momma Jane (Janet) Henry and Momma Pat Vinson for the many hours they spent with Guy, offering their time, friendship, love, and support.
Guy will be remembered for his service to his country, his love for his family, his adventurous spirit, his unwavering support of his Auburn Tigers, and the joy he brought to those around him. Though he will be deeply missed, his memory will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
A memorial service will be held at Evangel Temple Assembly of God, Saturday, July 18, 2026 at 3:00 P.M. EST (2:00 P.M. CST).
