Martin Lee Reynolds, 61, a United States Air Force veteran, passed away on August 16, 2022.
The son of George and Florence “Mac” Reynolds, Martin grew up in San Francisco, California. He is preceded in death by his parents. He was the beloved husband to his wife of 18 years, Alice Michelle Reynolds, who died of cancer earlier this year. Martin and Michelle called Woodland Park and Colorado Springs their home for 20 years.
Martin is survived by his cousin Pat Hawkins, his in-laws Jeff Trevino and Kerry Whitehead, Joe and Julie Trevino, nephews and nieces Jake and Laurel Trevino, Marcie and Philip Ripper, Ashley and David Murillo, John Trevino, and grandnephews and grandniece Lincoln and Austen Ripper, Woody and Dillon Murillo. His loved ones will remember his dry humor, the driest. He was especially good at telling bad jokes – good, clean, well-told tales that always finished with a zinger that you didn’t see coming. He made a habit of telling you a joke every time he met you.
Martin is a veteran of the United States Air Force.
Martin’s experience in the Air Force played a very important role in his life. He frequently pointed out that the Air Force taught him the value of discipline, teamwork, and investing in a cause larger than himself.
Martin played guitar. In his teens and early twenties, he was in a rock band called Jacaranda. A student of his craft, he admired a great touch on a guitar and was a true fan to the rockers he loved the most, always planning and looking forward to seeing them live. What he loved even more was having a passion for music in common with Michelle. When Michelle called Martin her rock star, sharing posters and pics of his heartthrob jam band days as proof, Martin corrected the score to say, “Never made it to the ‘star’ status…I was closer to a rock than a rock star.” And he was. He was her rock.
