Mark William Martin

Mark William Martin, 57, of Waterbury, passed away unexpectedly at his home on Monday, July 12, 2021. Born in Montpelier on October 3, 1963, he was the son of the late William C. Martin and Virginia (Lamos) Martin, of Waterbury Center.

Mark was a 1981 graduate of Harwood Union High School. After graduation he began working for the State of Vermont. He worked at the Vermont State Hospital in the Food Services Department, moved into a position as the food services storeroom clerk, and later worked in the Maintenance Department. Finally, he worked for the Department of Human Services. After 30 years with the state, he retired in 2014 and afterward he worked briefly for Aubuchon Hardware Store in Moretown.

Mark was a member of the Waterbury-Stowe Fish and Game Club. He was an avid sports fan and played baseball, softball, basketball and volleyball as a young man. He was a diehard fan of the Dallas Cowboys, the Boston Red Sox, and the North Carolina Tarheels. He enjoyed golfing and was known for his very sharp eye on the pool table. He loved to play cards with his friends and was the head cook for many pig roasts. Mark’s greatest joy was spending time with his father, Bill, working on one of their many construction projects and over the years, they spent many weekends working side-by-side.  

Mark will be deeply missed by his family: his mother, Virginia Martin; his sister, Amy Martin and her partner Marvin Bobar of Montpelier; his nephew, Travis Bobar of Montpelier; his aunt Terry Lamos of Waterbury; as well as extended family and friends.

A private service will be held in Holy Cross Cemetery in Duxbury, at the family's convenience. For those who wish, memorial contributions can be made to a charity of one’s choice in memory of Mark.
