The family of Shawn Christopher Martin is saddened to announce his passing on Sunday, November 6th 2022 at the age of 42 years old. He was a beloved husband, father, brother and son that will be missed dearly. Shawn was born February 25, 1980.
Shawn will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Brandi Jones Martin. They were married on November 30, 2007 and shared a home in Central, Louisiana.
He is survived by his wife, Brandi Jones Martin; his son, Beaux Avery Martin; his sister Sonya Erica Fiske, husband Matt Fiske; his mother Roxanne Shown, husband Tommy Shown; his father Alvin “Marty” Martin (Dawn Russell); grandparents, Leslie “Mimi” Nickles, husband John Nickels and many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
He loved his dog, Kaiser, for more than just a dog, but as his own family. Shawn can be remembered as a goofy, fun loving jokester. He loved his wife, son, and family deeply, and will always be part of their lives through their hearts and thoughts. He enjoyed working on cars, playing jokes on his family, and LSU. Above all else, Shawn loved his family with his whole heart and soul.

To my son,
I love you and I miss you terribly. I remember the sweet baby boy I held in my arms with his head full of dark hair. The great dancer at his wedding and the father of a great son. I guess you were really that mom’s boy you said you were. We will meet again one day.

Well Jeremy you’d have to go through me to do that….and not because I’d be stopping you…I’d just have to do it first…LOL!!! I’ve known him to grow from a young boy, to a young man and almost an old man (he used to pick with me for that). He has been like a son, brother & BEST FRIEND to me for 27 years….& HE WILL REMAIN TO BE!!!!
