Richard Allen Martin

Oct. 14, 1943-Oct. 20, 2016

Richard “Rick” Martin, 73, of Lake Havasu City passed away peacefully in his home with family on Oct. 20.

Rick was born Oct. 14 in Portland, Ore. to Richard and Betty Martin, the oldest of three children.

Rick married his high school sweetheart, Jane, in 1962. They raised their two children Todd and Kim in Seattle, Wash. In 1987, they moved to beautiful Whidbey Island, Wash. where he owned and operated Microscan Inc. for many years.

Rick enjoyed NFL football, NASCAR and traveling. He loved boating and had a passion for fast boats that he shared with his family. It was this interest that brought him to Lake Havasu City in 2002.

He is survived by his wife of 54 years Jane Martin, son Todd Martin, daughter Kim (Joe) Abellera and sister Nancy (Paul) Simmons. Rick was blessed with five grandchildren, Lucas and Bob Martin, Jessica, Ryder and Lexee Abellera. Rick’s kind heart and quick wit will be forever in our hearts.
