Koeller, Martin Charles “Marty”

 

Koeller, Martin Charles “Marty”, died on July 27, 2022, at the age of 64.

Marty was born in St. Louis, Missouri and graduated from Hazelwood Central in 1976. He later continued his education, earning an associates degree in both Mechanical and Electrical Engineering from St. Louis Community College.

During his career, Marty was employed at the St. Louis County Department of Highways and Traffic which spanned 35 years.

Marty enjoyed bass fishing with friends and visiting National Parks every chance he got.

On April 9, 1988, Marty became a devoted husband to Kay Koeller (NEE: Kelly) and they were married for 35 years. He was also a loving brother to his twin sister, Micheleen and beloved son of the late Patricia (NEE: Penwell) Fry.

He was also a cherished cousin, nephew, brother in-law and friend to many and he will be dearly missed by all who knew him.

Marty will be interred at the family plot in Tiden, Nebraska with his mother and other family members.

A Celebration of Life will be held later in 2023, for Marty’s many friends and family members to remember this remarkable man.

    Marty was definitely one ,of a kind. When you thought of him, there were the cars. The blue Monte Carlo, the red Corvette. I went for a ride with him in the ‘Vette’ one day, he hit second gear and we went into a spin. I was hanging on and he was laughing, that was Marty! He was a golfer, a bowler, a fisherman, but the thing he was to all of us, was our friend. You will be missed, my friend.

    I’m sad to hear of the news. Marty was a contributing factor for my love of cars. I remember in High School Marty said he was going to have a corvette and knew exactly what it was going to be. Well he followed through. Thank you Marty for your knowledge you gave me and the memories. You will be missed
