Harold Martin

Harold Martin, a resident of Ozark, Alabama, died peacefully on September 7, 2025, surrounded by his family.  He was 84 years old.  Bro. Martin was born on September 1, 1941 in Dale County to Woodrow and Doshia Mae Martin.  He was a Trowel Trades Instructor at the Ozark Technology Center for 25 years and a business owner of a Masonry Company for many years.

He enjoyed so many good things, but nothing brought him more joy than teaching his children and aiding others as well from the scriptures.  He gained much joy by lending his masonry skills to the RBC (a program that builds Kingdom Halls, places of worship).  It has been estimated that he participated in building 66 of these structures in the Tri-State area and also the World Headquarters of Jehovah’s Witnesses.  He has been a dedicated, baptized Jehovah’s Witness for over 60 years.  He was married to his beloved and very supportive wife, Sis. Jean Martin, for 64 years.  To this union were born four daughters:  Sandra Martin-Thomas; Patricia (Glenn) Brooks; Beverly (Glenn) Jackson; and Miriam (Eric) Register. 

He was the very proud GRANDPA to 7 Grand-Children:  Crystal (Charles) Hill; Samantha Jackson (Alex Tolbert); Brandon Register; Kennedi Brooks; Peni Givan, Asia Bennett (Travis) Austin Thomas; and Ashley Thomas.  More Blessings occurred and bestowed 6 Great-Grandchildren: Carissa Hill, Rayvin Jackson, Mariah Farrier, Major Farrier and Azrael Bennett.

Harold is survived by one brother, Clarence Nickerson, and many, many cousins, nieces, nephews, and blood relatives that reside in Ozark and surrounding areas. 

He is also survived by many spiritual brothers and sisters.
