Obituary

Leroy Martin, 86, of Garfield, Arkansas died March 6, 2025 in Bentonville.

He was born August 25, 1938 in Spiro, Oklahoma to Roy James Martin and Edna Gladys Allen Martin. Leroy married Patty Joe Wassman July 3, 1975. He was "The Radiator Man" by trade and title. He began working on radiators in Dallas, Texas, then moved to City Radiator in Springdale, eventually opening his own shop, Martin's Radiator, in 1968. From here he became well known across the Ozarks, and eventually found himself getting radiator work from all corners of the surrounding states. He'd always tell his customers "If it can be fixed, I can fix it" - and he could. Leroy loved to hunt, fish and boating- teaching his kids to ski. He was a storyteller, a "Ford Man" and never met a stranger. He was a faithful member of the Garfield Church of Christ and is preceded in death by his wife Patty; his parents; siblings, Orval, Ruby, Charlie, Lavonne, Mary, James, Georgia and two grandchildren, Bobby Cowley and Tisha Olive.

Survivors are his children, Rhonda McKinney (Jerry) of Lowell, Gail Cantrell (Sam) of Pea Ridge, Debbie Cowley of Monahans, Texas, Sandy Martin of Lubbock, Texas, Tommie Brigge (Michael) of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma; step-children, Ralph Gobble, Jr., Paula Jo Gurwell, Debbie Callison, Terry Gobble Brown, Mitzie Waycaster; siblings, Jimmy Martin (Virginia) of Tahlequah, Ok., Laveta McCallister of Rogers, Darlene Kauffeld of Watts, Ok., Josie Mounce of Siloam Springs, Ar.; ten grandchildren; twenty-one great-grandchildren and nine great-great grandchildren.

Visitation is set for 12:00 p.m. Monday, March 10, 2025 at the Garfield Church of Christ. Services will begin at 1:30 p.m. after the visitation. Burial will be in Liberty Cemetery.
