MARTIN, David Francis

New Minas, NS

January 19, 2024


David Martin, age 77, of New Minas, Nova Scotia passed away surrounded by the love of his wife, Glenda, on January 19, 2024.


Growing up in Rockingham with his mother Evelyn, he loved spending his summers on the shores of Martin’s River.


David’s working life was spent with Volvo Canada in Halifax, Nova Scotia. While employed there, he was a long-standing proud representative of the Canadian Auto Workers Union.

If you spotted him lately it was most likely at the local rink or ballfield cheering on one or all of his beloved grandsons.


Husband to Glenda Martin, father to Susan (Jason) Martin, Victoria (Richard) Jollimore, Billy (Cheryl) Rhynard, Lionel (Rebecca Rhynard), and grandfather to Brawn, Colton, and Reece Rhynard, he will be greatly missed.


David received outstanding care from his family physician, Dr. Christopher King, and was supported by the renal clinic at the QEII Hospital in Halifax whose staff consistently went above and beyond. Many thanks.


There will be a private family graveside service. In lieu of flowers memorials may be made to the Kidney Foundation Canada. Arrangements have been entrusted to the White Family Funeral Home and Cremation Services, Kentville.
