Calvin “Leon” Martin was born on September 23, 1968 in Racine, Wisconsin to David Jones Jr. and Shirley Martin and received his golden wings on January 4, 2021.  At the early age, Leon accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior.

As a small boy Leon moved to Oxford, Mississippi with his grandparents where he received his education. Leon later relocated back to Racine as an adult, where he became a member of Shiloh C.O.G. I.C. His faith was strong and he loved God.

Leon loved anything centered around cars, fixing cars, his, your, even people he didn’t know in fact he was good at it and could probably do it with his eyes close.  Leon was always the go-to person if anything needed to be fixed on a car.  Leon loved to race cars in his earlier years. He travelled as much as possible and loved fishing. His favorite hang-out was the gas station on 6th Street.

Calvin was very passionate about cooking and was a phenomenal grill master. He always talked about opening a restaurant. His dream finally became reality and Catfish and More was established in February of 2017 as he was a silent partner.  Calvin worked until he and his business partner decided to close to pursue other business ventures until his health began to decline.

Leon leaves to cherish his memories, his daughters: Deandra Martin, Shikara Johnson and Dakyra Strong.  Siblings: Martha (Delvin) Hoard, Hiwithain (Lekeitha) Hicks, Carrie Martin, Christopher Martin, Michelle Grandberry, Rhonda, Daryl, Daniel and Tyrone. As well as a host of nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins. Dear to his heart were: Sarah Martin, Alcinder, Efferm , Tiffany & Katrina Grandberry, Ashanti, Arshawn Martin, David Martin, Tyrone Gavin, Diana Kelly and special caregiver friend Vanessa Boutwell-Belcher.  Leon preceded in death his father and mother, Curtis& Lellar Martin and James Martin.

Testimonials

Thank you for an exceptional service for our mother – Juan Munoz

My siblings and I recently had the unfortunate experience of having to plan a funeral for our beloved mother – Juana Munoz. During this difficult time, we were fortunate enough to come across a funeral home that truly went above and beyond what was expected. Their attention to detail and dedication to ensuring our comfort and safety throughout the entire process was truly remarkable.

From the moment we stepped foot into the funeral home, we were greeted with warmth and compassion. The staff members, but specifically Mark was incredibly understanding and empathetic, making us feel at ease during such a challenging time. Mark took the time to listen to our needs and wishes, and his guidance and support were invaluable.

One aspect that truly stood out was Mark’s meticulous attention to detail. He paid close attention to every aspect of the funeral arrangements, ensuring that nothing was overlooked. From the floral arrangements to the music selection, every detail was carefully considered and executed flawlessly. Mark even noticed that the temperature in the room was getting warm and promptly adjusted it to ensure our comfort.

What impressed me the most was their commitment to our safety. Mark and his team took every precaution to ensure that our family and guests were protected throughout the entire process. From the funeral home to the cemetery, Mark made sure that all safety measures were in place, including providing hand sanitizers, and even arranging for additional staff members to assist with crowd control.

Furthermore, Mark’s professionalism and organization was evident in every aspect of the funeral service. He coordinated seamlessly with the cemetery staff, ensuring a smooth transition from the funeral home to the final resting place. Their attention to detail and commitment to excellence truly made a difference in our overall experience.

In addition to their exceptional service, the funeral home also provided us with resources and support beyond the funeral itself. They offered grief counseling services and connected us with local support groups, which proved to be invaluable during our grieving process.

Overall, we cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional service provided by Mark and broader Draeger Langendorf team. Their attention to detail, commitment to our safety, and genuine compassion made a difficult time a little more bearable. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of funeral arrangements, as they truly go above and beyond to ensure that every detail is taken care of and that families are supported throughout the entire process.

– Epifanio and The Munoz Family
