Martin Dwayne Collings Obituary (2024)

Martin "Marty" Dwayne Collings passed away too soon, on June 18, 2024, at the young age of 65. Martin was a kind and caring brother, uncle, and friend. He was the person that you could call anytime, day or night, if you needed something, and he would drop everything to come and help. He was never too busy to lend a helping hand to family, friends or neighbors. He was a finish carpenter by trade, but was also a skilled mechanic, who could take apart and rebuild just about anything. This love of mechanics started when he was just a child, when he would take apart his toy cars and trucks. He loved long conversations on the phone or in person. Martin was a lifelong bachelor. His kids were his dog, Rosie, and cats, Lil Dude and Velvet. He is preceded in death by his parents, Don and Pauline Collings. He is survived by two sisters, Sandy and Deanna, brothers-in-law, Billy and Dave, three nephews, and a niece, lifelong friends and "brothers from another mother," Craig, Dave and Fred, his friend, Karen, and countless other clients and neighbors, who all love and miss him. People like Marty do not come into our lives every day. We need to remember that every day is a gift. Treasure each and every one. We will never forget you and we will see you again, our brother, uncle, and friend. Brookside Funeral Home is caring for the family. Memories and condolences may be shared at www.brooksidefuneral.com.
