| Today's News-Herald, Lake Havasu City, AZ >>> Published on Sunday, April 23, 2017 <<< Martin John Silva (Marty), 61, passed away on April 14, 2017. Marty was born on Nov. 17, 1955 in Sacramento, California and was raised there. He graduated from Christian Brothers High School. He became a concrete foreman at a young age and worked for Buzz Oates Enterprises for 32 years. When Marty retired four years ago, he relocated to Lake Havasu City to join some of his siblings. Although he had retired, Marty’s strong work ethic did not just vanish. He poured his attention into his beautiful home and had at least one project going at all times. He also helped out his siblings with their many projects. Marty was always there for his family. He also lavished all of his attention on his beloved dogs, his No. #1 Cody and his adopted pup, Chevy. When it came to his beautiful home, it was clear that family was the most important thing to Marty. He dedicated a whole room to just family pictures. Marty was a great man and a kind soul who will be missed terribly by his beloved family. Marty was preceded in death by his parents, Robert and Marcia Silva. Martin was the sixth out of ten children and is survived by all nine of his siblings; Christine (John) Collins, Nanette (Bob) Friedland, Carolyn Silva, Elinor Cleve, Robert Silva Jr., Marcia (Brian) Amacher, Joseph Silva, John (Shelley) Silva, and Colleen Rose. In addition to his siblings, Marty had a special relationship with his nephew, Ricky Cleve, to whom he was a father figure and a role model. Also, dear Uncle Marty is survived by seventeen other nieces and nephews. Martin will be laid to rest with his mother and father in Sacramento, California.
