My uncle passed last Sunday.
Fredrick Louis Martin, age 54, departed this life on Aug. 30, 2009, at Alliance Community Hospital following an extended battle with cancer.
He was born May 14, 1954, to the late Henry and Annie Lee Martin. He was one of seven children. His favorite pastime was watching sports.
He leaves to mourn him a daughter, Teneya Brooks of Texas; two grandsons; four sisters, Mary and Jacqueline Martin of Alliance and Joeann Jackson and Beverly Prioleau of Charlotte, N.C.; two brothers, James and Jonathan Martin, both of Alliance; a host of nieces, nephews and cousins; a special aunt, Alberta Newman of Chicago; and three special friends, Rose of Chicago, Sellus Hill and Sondra Shells.
He was preceded in death by a son, Fredrick Martin Jr.
Services will be held at noon on Saturday, Sept. 5, 2009, at Anointed Fountain Church with Pastor Nick Myers officiating. Calling hours will be held one hour prior to the funeral, from 11 a.m. to noon.
Arrangements are by R.A. Franklin Funeral Home. (9-3-09)
I grew up somewhat, with him. When we lived in Alliance, OH and our (my sister, me, and pretty much all of my Martin cousins) parents were unable to be with us, Fred took care of us. And the "us" is no small group. We're talking about 10-15 of "us" kids at one time. He was good to us and I cared a lot for him.
