Condolence: Speaking on behalf of my parents and my brother and sisters, we are so upset to hear of Phil's passing. As far back as I can remember, Phil has always been there for our family, just like he had for so many others. In our darkest times, it was always a given that Phil would be one of the first ones to arrive and offer his support. He was the kind of friend that felt just like family and we are SO blessed and fortunate to have had such a selfless and compassionate gentleman in our lives. He will be sorely missed....Our thoughts and prayers are with Phil's family and friends.

Condolence: Dear Diane: Please know you are in my thoughts & prayers. I didn't know your husband but from all that I heard he was a wonderful man and will be sorely missed. May all the beautiful moments/memories you two shared over the years bring you comfort & peace in the days ahead. May God bless you & sustain you

Condolence: Having grown up near Bedington, I have known Phil for several years and cherished his friendship. His loyalty to his community has been exemplified by unending acts of kindness and professionalism. I especially cherish him visiting my home in late September and giving me a postcard which he had acquired, written by my mother 65 years ago. She had entered a contest from the TV show “Name That Tune” on this postcard. It was in mint condition and brought tears to my eyes. He had told Diane that he couldn’t keep the postcard, and had to give it to me. Again, this was the type of person that Phil was, always thinking of others. Diane, you shared your life with a very special person, and it is hoped that the wonderful memories of your life together will help to sustain you during this trying time. To the members of the Martin and Heck family, please accept my sincere prayer for peace to help you during this difficult this time.

Condolence: My heart is broken at the news that Phil Martin has passed on. He has been a fixture in this community and has contributed so very much to emergency services throughout the county. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this difficult time. May memories comfort you all at this difficult time.

Condolence: My condolences for you and your family in this difficult time.

Condolence: My sincere condolences to your family. May you find comfort in the promise of Revelation 21:4 of a time when death will be no more and loved ones will be reunited.

Condolence: So sorry to hear. I knew Chief Martin the entire time I lived in Berkeley County and served with the Sheriff's Department. He was a great man and amazing firefighter and professional.

Condolence: I can't remember ever meeting a perfect gentleman, but Phil was so close. He was a caring individual that everyone that knew him loved him. The whole Martin family is like that. Phil was Chief when my husband, a former fire chief, passed on. Phil was a treasure in all the support and advice he gave me. He stood by everyone who needed him. Diane, you were his partner and had his back always. He will be missed by so many. We have lost a true friend,father, husband, brother and an awesome man.
