MARTIN EMERY
1967 – 2018
Martin Lloyd Emery passed away unexpectedly, Sunday, July 22, 2018 near Mesachie Lake, B.C. at the age of 51 years.
He was the loving husband and best friend to his wife, Lori (Hirsche) Emery of Calgary. Besides his wife he is survived by his children: Matthew of Moose Jaw, SK and Morgana of Grenfell, SK and his mother-in-law Shirley Hirsche of Taber. He was preceded in death by an infant daughter Lea, by his father Alan Emery, father- in-law Gary Hirsche and birth father Albert Wing and will be sadly missed by uncles, aunts, cousins, half brothers and sisters, and many friends.
Martin was born February 9th, 1967 to Albert and Lynne Wing in Regina, SK. His parents divorced when he was very young and she later married Alan Emery who adopted Martin.
Martin was energetic and inquisitive. He often did things at a young age that would horrify his mother. One night while his mother was asleep and his father was at work, he was about three, he took a piece of his father’s train set, placed it in the oven and turned the oven on. While smoke was billowing out of the oven he climbed on the top of the stove, turned on the burners, and sat between the burners and watched the glow but never got burned!
Martin was a prankster. He would recount numerous pranks he pulled on his younger half brother and sister while laughing so hard he could hardly talk. Martin was a good story teller and kept people captivated by his many experiences and shenanigans.
Martin spent countless hours with his Grandpa Goran on the railroad and in the caboose travelling around Saskatchewan. His grandfather also took him on many trips across Canada and the United States with his uncle and aunt who were more like an older brother and sister.
In high school he loved playing football. He excelled in sports of any kind. He was always proud to point out that for two years in row he won the Saskatchewan Track and Field competitions for 100 meter races. Being from Saskatchewan Martin was an avid Saskatchewan Roughriders enthusiast. He loved his football! He was offered a position with Roughriders but turned it down and joined the Canadian Military and served as a Communications Lineman in Kingston, Ontario.
Martin had three children; Matthew, Lea who died after birth, and Morgan (Morgana).
Martin and Lori were inseparable. He always wanted her by his side. They had their own way of communicating and to watch them was both entertaining and inspiring. They shared a deep love and respect for one another. On Martin’s last motorcycle trip he took pictures of everything he saw so he could share it with her when he got home. He even spent time looking for special items to bring back to her.
Martin was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He had a strong testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Martin served in the Coventry ward in the scouting program and then as the Scout Master for four years. He loved those boys and they loved the energy, the enthusiasm, and the outdoor knowledge he brought. His example will be remembered.
Martin also served in the Elders Quorum and enjoyed serving and ministering to those who needed his help. He always signed up to help where he was needed. His service will be remembered. At the time of his passing he and Lori were actively planning and preparing to be sealed in the Cardston Temple for time and all eternity in October.
Martin was a natural in any sport. On one occasion he and Lori were camping with her parents near Waterton. Gary invited Martin to go golfing in Waterton with him because Martin had never golfed. After only a few holes Gary decided they were done because Martin was too good. Gary never asked Martin if he wanted to go golfing after that.
Martin loved flying. When flying with Albert in his Cessna was not affordable he took up flying radio control airplanes a passion that he shared with his father-in-law Gary. In Coventry Martin joined the Airdrie Modellers Aircraft Society where he served a couple of years as the Vice President and trained or supervised people learning to fly. Martin took Lori to the flying field. Eventually she wanted to learn to fly. So he built her a plane with her father.
Martin loved motorbikes. He and Lori had a Kawasaki Concours that they drove all over Alberta and down into the United States. He had a passion for motorbike riding something that he shared with Gary. Martin was a very conscientious person on his bike. He was always aware of everything and everyone around him. He knew what actions to take for different scenarios. He loved riding but he loved riding more when Lori was with him. Their favourite places to ride were in the mountains.
Martin was many things to many people. His knowledge, his example and his athleticism will be remembered. His laughter, his humility, and energetic personally will be remembered. But the love and the devotion he had for Lori will stand out because he truly loved her with every fibre of his soul. He was her best friend, his sweetheart, and loving companion. Their love will last throughout time and eternity.
The Funeral Service will be held at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Taber Stake Center (4631 - 50 Aveune) on Saturday, August 4th, at 1:00 p.m.. Friends may meet the family at the Church from 11:45 to 12:45 prior to the Service. Interment to follow at the Taber Memorial Gardens.
