Ethan Dwayne Martin

Ethan Dwayne Martin, 15, of Judsonia, namesake of his Papa, Alfred Dwayne Louks, went to be with the Lord, Friday, Nov. 17, 2017. Ethan was a 10th grade student at Bald Knob High School and was an avid outdoorsman who loved to hunt and fish. He also possessed a love of classic cars, particularly his 1972 Ford Torino. He and his Uncle Michael would attend car shows together quite frequently. Four-wheelers were another area of interest for Ethan. He was proud of his ATV's. He liked to deck them out with green lights and get them muddy. He was also very particular about his appearance, especially his long locks. When his dad would mention the word "haircut" he would say….. "I promise I will be good, just please don't make me cut my hair!" He liked hats (especially Columbia hats), his 2004 GMC truck and shooting for the Bald Knob High School Trap Team. Ethan was a member of the Searcy First Assembly of God and, each year, looked forward to helping with the Living Nativity where he would tend to the animals. When his mom began working for the Searcy Police Department, Ethan decided he wanted to a police officer when he graduated high school. Ethan enjoyed so much about life here on this earth but because he was a Christian, he is now enjoying eternal life in heaven.
