Kalas Funeral Home & Crematory

With sadness, we announce the passing of Keith Martin of Edgewater, MD.  He died of a cardiac arrest on February 10, 2022.  Keith was a caring, loving family man, and handyman extraordinaire.  He was a successful executive chef at several restaurants in the Annapolis area.  He later shared his culinary expertise as a waiter and caterer.  He also helped people find homes as a realtor.

As one of six children, Keith grew up in Croswell, MI.  He met JoAnn in Annapolis and created a family of his own.  Always with a smile on his face and a tune in his heart, Keith was truly a shining star to behold.  He spent his days selflessly helping others or emotionally supportive of anyone he met.

Keith is survived by his wife of 38 years, JoAnn Martin; daughters, Rachel Martin and Sarah Martin; sons-in-law, Michael Murphy and Cory May; and grandchildren, Flynn May, Camden Murphy and Ada Murphy.  He will be greatly missed.

A memorial service will be held at a later date.  Contributions may be made to the nonprofit of your choice in memory of Keith Martin.

Online condolences may be offered using the Memories tab in the left column of this page.
