In Remembrance Of
Marty Whitaker
Marty Lynn Whitaker, 56, of Trimble, MO passed away May 23, 2020. He was always with his family. Whether it was in person or spirit. Marty died of heart failure.
He leaves behind his loving wife Lisa Ann Whitaker. His son Austin Lee Whitaker, daughter Taelor Erin Whitaker brother Deon Whitaker, and step dad John Zuniga. Two grandsons that he loved very much Connor Charles Landrum, and Bentley Lynn Whitaker. He is excited to be joining his Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother, and many of his friends.
He was a loving and amazing father, husband and grandfather and friend. Marty was so proud of his grandsons. He loved them so much. He taught Connor so many things while he was able. Even though he never felt good he did as much as he could with them.
Marty was a member of Trimble Baptist Church. It was here he was led to Christ and his everlasting love. Marty started a food pantry at the church and loved to help people. He was always there when you needed him.
He was an avid Camper. He loved going camping with his son Austin. Even though he was sick for a long time he always tried to smile and make the best of life. He had a love of cars. Classic, new service. Marty was an amazing kind hearted soul; he was always willing to help anyone. He had a big heart and did everything he could to help. I could go on forever about all the great things he’s done.
Marty will be missed dearly and will never be forgotten.

Oh, how i wish i could take just a part of your sorrow from you. But, from personal experience, i cannot, but i can send love to you and offer a shoulder and two ears if you need them. I know he will be missed by all who knew him and we also know that he loved his family and two little boys just made his life complete. And, Lesa, he was so proud of you and hated it that you had to work so hard. But, everytime i talked to him, he would mention that he was looking at something for you. I am so crippled now that i find it difficult to walk, but i can listen so use that text number and let me know. I will try to get over there to see you altho i have been quarantened , as have hundreds of others. So, in the meantime, please accept tge love i am sending.

He was my closest relative, #1 cousin and like a brother. He was my go-to person for advice. I am absolutely lost! My life will never be the same.

Dear Lisa, Taylor and Austin, Our deepest sympathy to you and your family. Marty was Gordon’s close friend and they enjoyed so much talking about cars, trucks and RV’s. They were there for each other in good times and in the struggles of life. Marty will be missed by so many but we can take comfort in knowing he knew his Savior and now is free of pain and sickness. You will be in our prayers for peace, strength and comfort! Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help.
