Donald K. Martin II's Obituary
Celebrating the Life of Donald “Chip” K. Martin, II
November 17th, 1967 – February 9th, 2026
We gather to celebrate the beautiful life of Donald K. Martin, II, warmly known as Chip. Born on November 17th, 1967 in Honolulu, Hawaii, he filled 58 years with energy, kindness, and steady purpose.
Chip found great joy in his work as a Project Manager in the construction world. He loved seeing a plan come together and took pride in guiding each project to the finish line with skill and steady calm.
Away from the job site, Chip’s happiest hours were spent out fishing or simply hanging out with family and friends. His sisters, Lisa Martin and Heather Beal, remember countless relaxed evenings marked by laughter and easy conversation.
Above all, Chip will be remembered for one clear trait: he was kind. That kindness lives on in every person who shared a boat, a backyard chair, or a work project with him.
Today we choose to smile, trade stories, and keep his spirit close. By carrying forward his steady kindness, we honor Chip in the most fitting way.
