William Hassell “Pooch” Martin, age 73, of Collinwood, TN, was born on May 26, 1951, in the place he cherished and called home. He was the son of the late George Paulk and Harriet Jane Martin. He was united in marriage to Reba Ann Umphrey Martin on March 28, 1985, sharing a life dedicated to each other.
He was a member of the Williams Freewill Baptist Church in Collinwood, TN. His hands shaped the land he loved, working in logging and bush hogging for the County.
Beyond work, William's heart thrived in nature. He was an avid fisherman and hunter, relishing every moment spent outdoors. Whether it was ginseng digging, riding four-wheelers, or cruising on motorcycles.
He is survived by his wife, Reba Ann Umphrey Martin of Collinwood, TN; sister-in-law, Dollie Marie Martin; and several nieces and nephews.
