Eric N. Martin, age 68 of Morgantown, KY, passed away on Monday, June 23, 2025, at the Medical Center in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Born on Tuesday, October 9, 1956, in Indianapolis, Indiana, Eric's life was a testament to the joy and love he brought to those around him.

Eric was the loving son of the late Milton Webster and Judith Marlene Skeen Martin, and he was also preceded in death by his sister, Kimberly Cantrell.

His legacy of love and laughter lives on through his devoted wife of 44 years, Jacque Martin of Morgantown, Kentucky, whom he married on April 4, 1981. He is also survived by his sister, Michelle Bowman (Jack) of Caledonia, Ohio; his special nieces, Jessica Dwyer (Steve) of Martinsville, Indiana, and Julie Emory (Mike) of Plainfield, Indiana; as well as nieces Jennifer Hill, Brittany Mack (Logan), Sara Banholzer (Dustin), and Teagan Baughn; nephews Eric Wylie (Kelly), Randy Wylie (Kay), Mitchell Carmichael, Bradley Olausen, and Dawson Baughn (Sam); and numerous great-nieces, great-nephews, and cousins.

Eric's professional life was marked by his dedication as a Manager for Allstar Garage Doors. An adventurous soul, Eric found joy in the simple pleasures of life. He was an avid horse rider, a passion that allowed him to connect with nature and the animals he loved. Camping and being outdoors were activities that brought him immense happiness, and his love for collecting antiques.
