April 15, 1941 — September 13, 2015
Martin (Marty) Bernard Graybill Jr. left this life on September 13, 2015. He was born on April 15, 1941 in Inglewood, CA to Martin Bernard and Ruth Graybill and Wildevene Ragona. He is survived by his wife Debbie, daughter, Debbie (Bret) Whiting, sons, Thomas (Abbey) Saltas, Paul Saltas and bonus son Anthony Sylvers. Grandchildren; Kayla and Chris Graybill, Jake Whiting and the newest grandson, George Saltas. Mother, Wildevene Ragona, sisters, Sherry (Bob) Cooper and Marilyn Williams.
A remembrance of his life will be held at the Kamas LDS Church, 100 West Center Street, Kamas, UT on Saturday September 19, 2015 at 11:00 a.m. Friends may call at the church on Friday evening from 6-8 p.m. and on Saturday from 9:30 – 10:30 a.m. prior to the service. Interment will be in the Peoa Cemetery under the direction of Crandall Funeral Home.
Marty enjoyed working with the Burbank Police department as a Reserve Police officer for over 20 years. While in California, he started his insurance and selling career as a State Farm agent, making life-long friends. He moved to Utah in 1991 and worked as a Realtor in Summit and Wasatch counties.
Marty fought a long hard battle with Parkinson’s disease. Although he did everything he could, the disease finally won. His family is comforted in knowing that he is in a better place, pain free, and able to sing. The reunion with his three children, Martin Bernard Graybill III, Shelly Anderson, and Doug Graybill was glorious. His Graybill parents, and his beloved friend Jim, welcomed him warmly.
His love for singing and entertaining shaped his life. He loved performing with Wayne, Roger and Jeri as part of the Two Baritones. Although Parkinson’s took away his ability to sing, he is singing with the angels now.
Marty’s sense of humor was well known. He loved people, bringing joy to everyone who met him.
His loving wife, Debbie, his family and his beloved friends who are too abundant to name, will miss him.
Debbie is grateful for the numerous friends and family that helped Marty as the disease progressed. Robert Koch and Carol Steinkirchner you are true angels on earth.
