David Martin

David Lee Martin, age 72, passed away Tuesday, June 18, 2024, at his home in Waukee.

David was born December 30, 1951, in Des Moines, Iowa to Floyd and Alberta (Williams) Martin.

David was served by Mosaic in Central Iowa from April 1, 1996, until his death on June 18, 2024, where David touched many lives. While living in his group home, David made one special friend, Mark. For the last 6 years, David lived with his host home family until David was laid to rest.

David's favorite things to do over the years were going for rides in the car, and spending afternoons at the park where he enjoyed sitting, listening, and watching his surroundings. David enjoyed anything relaxing including getting his back rubbed, listening to Jazz and Country music, and watching old western movies. David's favorite sports team was any and every team that sported the color red in their merchandise. David was a serious man, but his humorous side could be awakened when spending time with his family member, Aaliyah, who could make David's day by running circles around David over and over again, leaving David with a smiling face and lots of laughs.

David is survived by his sister Sharon, cousin Donis, and remembered by Ali, Fathi, Aaliyah, Jamal, Asantu, and many at Mosaic. He was preceded in death by his parents, Floyd and Alberta Martin.

There will be a graveside service Friday, June 28, 2024, at 10:00 a.m., at Laurel Hill Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be directed to Mosaic for their compassionate care of David.
