His favorite activities were watching Husker football, playing cards and coyote hunting.

Martin’s faith could be described by Psalms 18:1-2, “I love you oh Lord, my strength.  The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge.  He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.’

He was a member of St. John’s Lutheran Church in Palmer.

Survivors include nieces and nephews.

He is preceded in death by his parents; siblings, Henry Meyer, Dora Frey, Fritz Meyer, Sophia Kinsey, Alfred Meyer, Martha Farnsworth, Frieda DeHart, Wilhelmina Meyer, John Meyer, Rosa Hoback, and Herman Meyer.
