MEMORIAL THREAD
Rich died on his beloved Sporty. He especially loved slaying the Tail of the Dragon, HWY 129 NC/TN
Tail of the Dragon
Loved riding the Sporty, playing guitars and his favorite whiskey, Jack Daniels. Was the most dependable and loving friend I've had, and we called each other brother and meant it. Sorely, sorely missed. A void in my life, soul and heart.
Richard A. Martin, 45, of Huntsville, passed away Sunday. Mr. Martin attended the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa and was employed as a department manager at J.C. Penney. Richard was an avid motorcyclist, enjoyed reading and playing the guitar with his friends. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Otis C. Martin and Mr. and Mrs. James R. Evans.
Survivors include parents, Billy O. and Jimmie Lou Martin of Huntsville and brother, Keith Randal Martin and his wife, Alexandria, of Birmingham.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Patriot Guard Riders or the Huntsville Madison County Library.
