Martin W Morin

On July 15, 2026, just one day before his 67th birthday, our dad, grandpa, brother, and friend, Martin Wallace Morin, went home to be with the Lord.

Martin was born on July 16, 1959, in Chicopee Massachusetts to Herb and Evelyn Morin. Throughout his life, he worked as a construction framer and also spent many years cooking, taking pride in every job he did. More than any title, Martin was known for his resilience, his sense of humor, and the stories he loved to tell.

Martin loved the simple things in life. He could spend hours talking about coins, Jeff Gordon, John Wayne movies, golf, or his beloved Dallas Cowboys. If you sat down with him for a few minutes, chances are you'd end up hearing one of his stories. Whether you'd heard it once or twenty times, he always told it like it was the first, and somehow it still made you smile.

The accomplishment Martin was most proud of was his 30 years of sobriety. Through Alcoholics Anonymous and a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, he found healing, purpose, and hope. His life became a testimony that no one is beyond God's grace and that change is always possible. He didn't just talk about recovery—he lived it.

Martin leaves behind his children, Deon Morin and Allison Morin, and Melissa Miser and Brandon Miser; his cherished grandchildren, Ryan and Kelsi Miser, Brayden Miser, Brynlee Miser, Ella Morin, Hannah Morin, Parker Goins, Mia Goins, and Kathryn Morin; his precious great-grandson, Waylon Miser; his brother, Bob Morin; and many extended family members and dear friends whose lives were made richer by knowing him.

He was welcomed into Heaven by his parents, Herb and Evelyn Morin, and his siblings, Jerry Morin, Andrew Morin, and Kathryn Morin.

Although our hearts are broken, we rejoice knowing Martin placed his faith in Jesus Christ. Because of that hope, we know this is not goodbye forever—it is simply "until we meet again."

Please join us as we celebrate Martin's life on Thursday, August 6, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. at First Family Center, 300 W. Bank St., Iowa Park, Texas.

Martin often lived by the words of the Serenity Prayer, a prayer that reflected the peace he found later in life:

"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference."
