Isaac Martin
October 2, 1970 ~ May 27, 2025
Born in:
Moore County, North Carolina
Resided in:
Carthage, North Carolina
William Isaac Martin, 54, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, May 27, 2025, at Moore Regional Hospital.
Born to the late Arlen Franklin Martin and Mary Satterwhite Whitaker, Isaac was a kind-hearted soul who never met a stranger. In addition to his father, he was preceded in death by his beloved wife and the love of his life, Bobbi Jean Lineberry Martin; his stepfather, Roy Whitaker; and a cherished father figure, Ralph McCaskill.
Isaac had a deep love for people and thrived in the company of friends and family—whether gathered around a table for a meal or simply enjoying conversation. He was a devoted member of Red Branch Baptist Church, where he generously volunteered his time and talents across various ministries. His passions included classic cars, Tonka toys, and the joy of giving—he especially delighted in surprising his friends with thoughtful gifts during the holidays. Isaac also had a soft spot for dogs and collected angels, symbols of the gentle and caring spirit that defined his life. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
Isaac is survived by his beloved mother, Mary Satterwhite Whitaker of Carthage; brother, Robert K. Martin and his wife, Abby of Vass; sister, Linda Martin-Hatfield of Carthage; mother-in-law, Judy Kelly; sister-in-law, Donna Marsh; brother-in-law, Scott Kelly; stepsister, Francesca Cameron of Carthage; nephews, Robert K. Jones, Casey L. Jones, and Wyatt Cameron; niece, Amanda Carter (Justin); great-nephew, Christian Carter and great-niece, Maci Carter.
Funeral services will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, May 31, 2025, at Red Branch Baptist Church with Deacon Tim Coe officiating. The burial will take place at the church cemetery following the service. The family will visit with friends from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. on Friday, May 30, 2025, at Fry and Prickett Funeral Home.

While we’re heartbroken that his gentle spirit won’t be in our midst, just imagine how happy he & Miss Bobbie are! Love to all the family. He will surely be missed.
Gary & I send our deepest condolences to Isaac’s family. We have known him since he was a young kid in Vass and watched him grow and overcome many obstacles. He was always a kind and gentle person. Prayers for his family. He loved the Lord and was not ashamed to share with others.
Mary & Family,
I’m saddened to hear of Isaac’s passing. He was always unfailingly kind. And though, like all of us, he may not have remembered every name, he never forgot a face. Whether it was a friend or a stranger, he greeted everyone he recognized with genuine warmth & kindness. Isaac was known & loved by many and will be greatly missed by his family, friends, and community. Mary, my heart truly breaks for you. I’m holding you close in my thoughts and sending you all my love and peace during this incredibly difficult time.
Very sorry to hear about Isaac. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Mary, Robbie & Linda- My condolences on Isaac’s passing. I think I met Isaac in the first week Steven & I arrived in Carthage. He loved messing with Steve, and he loved it too. Haven’t seen him in years but he was such a great kid. Rest easy young man. – Carla Richardson
