Mr. Martin worked as a store manager for Winn Dixie of 45 years.  He was an avid outdoorsman and was a longtime member of the Catahoula Hunting Club.  He loved hunting deer and ducks and enjoyed fishing for sac-a-lait, all of which he passed on these passions for the outdoors on to his sons. Mr. Martin was also a lifelong fan of the New Orleans Saints and LSU football, and any football team that his sons or grandsons played on.  According to one of his hunting buddies, "He didn't have a mean bone in his body.". He will be sadly missed by his family and friends.

He is survived by his sons, Terry Martin (Jaime), Ty Martin (Lani), and Travis Martin (Chelsea); grandchildren, Chet Martin, Logan Martin, Meagan Martin, and Sage Martin; brother Richard "Dickie" Martin; and his sister Juanita "Kitty" (Larry) Degeyter.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Ward and Mae Fuselier Martin.

The family would like to thank the staff of Our Lady of Lourdes Regional Medical Center and Landmark of Acadiana Nursing Home for the care and compassion that they showed Glen and his family during his illness.
