Leonard David Martin, age 61, passed away September 18, 2021.
Lenny was born in Laramie, Wyoming in 1959. He grew up in Wisconsin, and returned to Laramie to attend the University of Wyoming, going on to found Maverick Real Estate. Lenny was truly a multiskilled, capable man, and loved without measure. He was a devoted father, loved hunting, the outdoors, his horses, and most of all, his grandchildren.
In past years, he was an active Jaycee, black belt, volunteer handyman, and more recently worked with the Albany County Republican party to support election integrity.
He died from complications of Covid and is survived by his father, Ralph Martin of Evanston, his partner of 16 years, Deanna Hurless, children, Melissa (Brennan Cortez), Samuel and Russell, and seven grandchildren.
Memorial services will occur later this year. Gifts in his honor can be sent to the Ark Equestrian Center (www.arkhorses.org).
He will be deeply missed.

Lenny you always stood as a true patriot, we will miss you so. May you rest in peace.
Such a tragic end for a wonderful man. I enjoyed getting to know Lenny while we were in Phoenix. My deepest condolences.
Deanna...I am so very sorry for your loss. All of us at Department Headquarters are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. Lenny was such a good guy. We can all say we have lost a friend.
We enjoyed him as a neighbor this comes as such a shock to us.We will miss his "Hi neighbor" and miss seeing him work around his yard. If u need anything Deanna just let us know. Filters
I knew Lenny from Post 14. We talked fishing and politics. I appreciated the slant he had and I learned from him. Deanna lean on your comrades as it makes both of you stronger.
May God be with you my friend. Amen. Lenny was a very good friend of mine and trained in Shorin-Ryu karate with me for many years at UW. He was promoted to Shodan black belt and after I retired and left Laramie, he was later promoted to Sensei (instructor) and ran the UW Campus Shorin-Ryu Karate and Kobudo Club. I moved away from Wyoming, but for several years, kept in touch with Lenny until relatively recently. I was so shocked to hear he had passed away. Please keep him safe Lord and I will look to see him at the gates of Heaven

Deanna- sending you all of my love, I am so sorry for your loss, I will be praying for you and your family. Let me know if there is anything I can do!
I was in Cheyenne Jaycees and knew Lenny many years ago. Sympathy to his family. May he rest in peace.
My condolences go out to Deanna and all of Lenny’s family. It is hard to believe that he is gone. He was full of life each time I saw him. Bless you all. Rest In Peace Lenny.
Deanna, I am so sorry for your loss. My husband Sal and I(especially Sal) spent many hours walking with Lenny on the Greenbelt. We had many great conversations. Lenny was very interesting and loved walking with Elvis. We are privileged to have known such a great guy. Loretta Fallace
