Houston Dale Martin

Houston Dale Martin was born on January 20, 1992, at Moody Air Force Base in Valdosta, Georgia, the beloved son of Amanda Martin Kiernan.

Houston was a kind and gentle soul whose heart was full of love and faith. He found great joy in going to church and spending time with his family, who meant the world to him. He attended Forty Forks Baptist Church, where his bright spirit and genuine kindness touched everyone who knew him.

He is survived by his loving mother, Amanda Martin Kiernan and her husband, Bernie, of Adamsville, Tennessee; his grandparents, Gregory Farrell Martin and wife, Teresa, of Adamsville, Tennessee; his brother, Aaron Bernard Kiernan of Adamsville, Tennessee; and his sister, Brianna Mae Kiernan of Knoxville, Tennessee. He also leaves behind a host of aunts, uncles, and cousins who loved him dearly.

The family would like to extend their deepest appreciation to Erin Barnes, who cared for Houston with love, compassion, and dedication throughout the years.
