It is with both heavy hearts and joyful memories that we announce the passing of Jeff Martin, beloved partner, son, brother, uncle, and friend. Jeff passed away peacefully on May 19, 2025, at the age of 54 surrounded by his partner, family, and friends. Born on July 28, 1970, in Lubbock, Texas, Jeff brightened the lives of everyone he met with his infectious giggle, love for laughter, and music.
Jeff was a vibrant soul who thrived on the joy of life and was a true fan of the Star Wars universe. He could also been found at a concert enjoying the music he loved. His adventurous spirit took him traveling to many places, sharing laughter and unforgettable moments with friends and family along the way. Jeff’s beloved dogs, Buster, Boomer, and Rocky brought him much joy and companionship.
Jeff was preceded in death by his parents; Jimmy and Judy Martin.
Jeff is survived by his loving partner, Thad Johnson; his brother, Jerrod Martin (Sheila Martin); his niece, Ella Martin, and several aunts, uncles, and cousins.
A Celebration of Life is set to honor Jeff on May 31, 2025, at 3:00 PM at Lake Ridge Chapel and Memorial Designers, where friends and family will gather to share stories, laughter, and memories of a life well lived. The event is casual and we ask everyone to wear Jeff’s favorite color – blue.
In this time of remembrance, let us celebrate Jeff, a person who brought light, laughter, and love to our lives. May his spirit continue to inspire joy in our hearts forever.
We would like to thank the UMC MICU staff for their exceptional care and compassion for Jeff.
