Marty is survived by his children, Stephanie (Michael) Gubiotti, Martin Prehn Jr.; a granddaughter, Paityn; a special friend, Linda Bowery; siblings, Gary (Maryann) Prehn, Richard (Marilu) Prehn, Shirley (Jim) Ellis, Paul (Yvon) Prehn, Marlene (Terry) Rhoades; and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents.
Marty received his Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration and Management from Bob Jones Christian University. He worked for nearly 20 years as the Store Manager of the Oakland Mall JC Penney. Marty had his pilot’s license in his younger days and traded it in to be the world’s best loving father. He was passionate in helping others, and took great pride in the advocacy for elders and their care, starting with his parents. He was very proud to be part of the security detail for President Ronald Reagan, though his favorite job of all was being Paityn's Papa. Marty loved time spent at Houghton Lake. Marty never met a stranger, he loved to talk to anyone and was a great listener. He was forever a prankster and loved a good laugh.
