It is with deep sorrow that the family of Lester Dale Martin announces his passing on December 22, 2025, at the age of 57.  He was born on March 2, 1968, to Joe Martin and Velma Gaffga.

Lester attended Mountain High School in Mountain Home, Arkansas, where he graduated in 1986.  He had a passion for fishing, and brought joy to those who knew him.  Although his passing leaves a void in our lives, Lester will always be remembered for his kind heart and infectious laughter.  He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Lester leaves behind his loving daughter, Kayla Corp; two grandchildren, Atticus Angelo and Gabriel Farrar; two sisters, Lou Watson and Opal Wensel, both of El Dorado, Arkansas; and one brother, Lonnie Martin of Gassville, Arkansas.

He is preceded in death by his brothers, Larry Joe and Lawrence Martin, and his sister, Loretta Daniel.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
