Obituary of Gordon Joseph Martz

Gordon Joseph Martz (1949–2025)

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Gordon Joseph Martz, who departed this life peacefully on November 27, 2025, at the age of 76. Gordon was born on February 26, 1949, in Heisler Alberta, to Leander and Maryanna Martz.

Left to remember him is Joanne Martz, his children, Melissa Martz of Camrose, Michael (Breanne) Martz of Lamont, Jennifer (Joel) Overeem of Millet and Jordon (Hilary) Martz of Gibsons BC. He was also the proud grandfather to eight grandchildren, Easton, Cooper, Eli, Owen, Mason, Aubrey, Jeffrey and Joey.

Gordon was a hardworking man who built a career with Pioneer Grain and continued to use his handyman skills and knowledge into his retirement helping all those around him. He also had a love for gardening that benefitted his friends and family as he was always more than willing to share, and spent time trying to instill the gardening bug into his grandchildren. 

Gordon’s kindness, generosity, and unwavering love for his family will never be forgotten. 

A memorial service will be held at St. Martin's Catholic Church in Heisler on December 8^th, 2025, at 11:00 AM.

A time of fellowship and refreshments will be held at the Heisler Community Hall following the interment service.
