Steve Martin Obituary

Steve Martin, 63 formerly of Eudora and Overbrook, Kansas passed away peacefully with his wife Dianne and daughter Jessica by his side. Steve was a wild and crazy kind of guy. He was always ready with ready wise and mostly humorous advice whether it was solicited or not. He graduated in 1971 from Eudora High School. He met his wife in 1972 in Emporia, Kansas while attending college. They were married in 1976. His daughter Jessica came along in 1979. He was a master of trivia and music knowledge. His mind was a never-ending source of obscure facts. One of his favorite past times was giving people the Martin Music Experience. He fulfilled a long time dream in 1992 when he bought a ranch near Overbrook to raise buffalo. He wanted the land to go back to nature, so he put much of the farm land back into natural grass to restore the local habitat. Luckily when the farm was sold, it was sold to a buffalo rancher with the same mentality. One of his wishes upon his death was to have a friends and family reunion where the cocktails and beer were flowing and the stories, laughter, and music blaring were the dominant sounds. He is survived by his wife Dianne, his daughter Jessica and her Fiancé Jordan Giersdorf. He is also survived by brothers Mike Martin and his wife Patty, Chatt Martin and his wife Julie, Joe Martin and his wife Kristy, and Tim Martin. A Celebration of Life will be held Sat., Oct. 8 at D-dubs Bar and Grill, 10 W. 9th St., Eudora starting at 1pm until 4pm. Condolences may be expressed at www.kccremation.com.
