Obituary

James Gale Martin

(June 7, 1951 – September 19, 2022)

James Gale Martin, 71, of Collins, Mississippi, died September 19, 2022.  Mr. Martin passed away at Forrest General Hospital in Hattiesburg.  A memorial service will be held at 12:00 p.m. on Thursday, September 22, 2022, in the sanctuary of Collins Presbyterian Church, 501 S 2 nd Street, Collins, Mississippi. Visitation will begin at 11:00 in the church fellowship hall. Reverend Tommy Shields will officiate the services.

Mr. Martin was a Jackson native and had lived in Jackson and Raymond most of his life.  He was a graduate of Central High School of Jackson, Hinds Junior College of Raymond, and Mississippi State University.

While growing up, if there was a football, baseball or basketball around, Gale was close by.  He excelled at all sports and never out grew that love for the games, especially those played by his beloved Mississippi State Bulldogs. However, his main loves were the Lord Jesus Christ and his beautiful wife, the former Mary Lynn Lindamood, also of Jackson.  Gale and Mary were married for 49 years.

Mr. Martin was preceded in death by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jimmy M. Martin of Raymond; his grandson, Brady James Martin; and his brother-in-law, Buddy Lindamood.

Survivors include his wife, Mary Martin; his two sons, Matthew Martin and his wife Jennifer and their children Ainsley, Colt, and Boston all of Flowood and Daniel Martin and his wife Ashley of Nashville, TN; and his sister Sandy M. Duckworth and her husband Jackie of Terry; and several other nieces, nephews, and extended family members.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Collins Presbyterian Church, 502 S 2 nd Street, Collins, Mississippi, 39428.
