by Martin Fox Barton Death, Obituary – On Friday, January 6, 2023, Martin (Marty) Fox Barton, a resident of Turkeytown who had reached the age of 66 and who was known as “Marty,” passed away and went to his heavenly home. After a brief course of chemotherapy and radiation treatment for his cancer, Marty passed away peacefully surrounded by the people he loved and the friends he had made during his life. A Memorial Service and Celebration of Life will be held in memory of the deceased at Turkeytown United Methodist Church on Saturday, January 14, 2023, at eleven in the morning.
This event will take place in honor of the deceased (2077 Church Rd, Gad., AL 35901). The family will be available to greet friends beginning at ten in the morning and continuing all the way up until the time of the service, which is scheduled to begin at two in the afternoon. The ceremonies that are going to take place will be presided over by both the Reverend Matthew Johnson and the Reverend Jeffery Sauls.
Marty was a devout follower of Jesus Christ, and he tried his best to live his life in accordance with the model that the Savior had provided for him.
In addition to that, he was very active in the Turkeytown United Methodist Church where he attended regularly. In 1994, he made the decision to accept the free gift of salvation that God was offering to those who would accept it while he was attending a community revival in Hokes Bluff. God was offering salvation to anyone who would accept it. His birth took place on March 8th, 1956, and the city of Akron, which is situated in the state of Ohio, is where he was born. Because his father had been given a promotion within the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, in the year 1968, his family uprooted their lives and moved to Turkeytown, Alabama. The reason for this move was because his father had been given a promotion.
