Obituary...........................
Martin "Marty" J. Barron, 59, of South Portland, died Thursday, February 25, 2016 at Maine Medical Center.

 

Born in Milton, MA, Marty was the son of the late Martin A. and Joanne (Leavitt) Barron. He attended Holy Cross School, Cheverus High School, and St. Francis Xavier University of Nova Scotia.

 

After college, Marty honorably served his country in the United States Navy. A pilot, he began by flying the P-3 Orion and continued his love of being airborne flying commercially for Delta Airlines. Marty also had a passion for education. He taught chemistry at Cheverus High School for 8 years and more recently worked as an Adjunct Professor in the Chemistry Department at Southern Maine Community College.

 

A talented craftsman, Marty enjoyed carpentry and working on various jobs around the house. His proudest project and ultimate gift to his wife was the renovation of his cottage on Long Island, where he enjoyed spending summers with his family and friends. Marty was an avid runner and music fan who loved to crank tunes any chance he got. He learned to speak German as an adult and took many trips there to meet friends and explore. He loved a story, a joke, and a beer. He was a faithful communicant of St. Bartholomew Church in Cape Elizabeth.

 

Above all else, Marty was devoted to his family. He was a beloved husband, brother, father, and grandfather. He was so thrilled with every moment he had as the Papa Bear of his three granddaughters; Lucy, Carly, and Mary Mooney.

 

He is survived by his beloved wife of 18 years, Carlene Barron of South Portland; his children, Elizabeth Barron of Portland, Catie Brannelly and husband Sean of Portland, Andrew Barron and wife Sarah Jump of Portland, Brock Mooney and wife Katie of Kennebunk; his 3 adored grandchildren; sister, Meredith Schwarz and husband Mark of Scarborough; brother, William Barron and wife Delphine of Huntington Bay, NY; Sister and brother-in-laws: Roy and Deborah Barry of Naples, FL; Jim and Beverly VanBuskirk of Littleton, CO; Kenneth Brock of Emden, ME. Marty is also survived by nine wonderful nieces and nephews.

Visiting hours will be held on Thursday, March 3, 2016 from 4-7PM at Conroy-Tully Crawford South Portland Chapel, 1024 Broadway, South Portland. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Friday, March 4, 2016 at 11AM at St. Bartholomew Church, 8 Two Lights Rd., Cape Elizabeth. Burial will be held at a later date on Long Island.
