William Kemp Martin

April 10, 1943 – July 5, 2024

William (Bill) Martin passed away peacefully on July 5th following a series of strokes. He was surrounded by his family. Bill and Jean had just returned from a family reunion in Lake Tahoe the Sunday before his passing. The last picture ever taken of him was surrounded by the love of family.

Bill graduated from Utah State University with a degree in Computer Science. He then went on to serve in the Airforce as a Captain during the Vietnam War.

Bill was a prominent member of the real estate community where he received numerous awards: the most prestigious being Real Estate Broker of the year. He was also a mentor to many up-and-coming Real Estate Agents. He was known for his visionary mind and innovative thinking. He embraced technology and probably had the first cell phone and video camera ever made. He loved capturing “movies” of his family over the years.

Bill loved skiing, duck hunting and all types of fishing. When he retired, he could often be found at Flaming Gorge or the Duck Club he belonged to.

He was married to the love his life, Jean Martin, for 51 years. Bill is proceeded in death by his parents; Lieutenant General William K Martin and Mary Fister Martin.

Bill is survived by Jean (wife), daughters Laurie (Heath and granddaughter Emma), Brenda, his two brothers Mike and Bob Martin, his sister Mary Martin Gill. He has many loving nieces and grand nieces and nephews who will surely miss his funny antics at family events.

There will be a Celebration of Life in Park City on July 28 2024 for family and close friends.
