Curtis Martin

Curtis Odell Martin Jr. of Thomasville passed away on August 30, 2025, at his home. He was born on October 15, 1943, to his loving parents, Curtis and Christine Martin, in Cairo, Georgia.

Curtis spent thirty years as a line repairman at Owens Illinois in Lakeland, Florida, before moving on to work for Anchor Glass in Warner Robins until his retirement. He was known for his love of cooking for family and friends, and when he wasn't in the kitchen, you would find him enjoying a good Western film.
