John Martin, 59, of Wayne, passed away on Thursday, December 28, 2023 at Morristown Medical Center.

John was born in Paterson on July 2, 1964 and moved to Wayne with his family in 1972.

He attended DePaul Catholic High School (Class of 1982) and graduated from Rutgers College of Engineering in 1986 with a degree in Electrical Engineering. John was heavily involved with the Boys Scouts in his youth and early adulthood.  He was an Eagle Scout and worked at Camp Turrell in New York as the Program Director in the 1980s.

John began his career at All Service Computer Rental where he was Vice President of Operations.  He moved on to various roles in the computer rental/event technology industry and worked for multiple companies including Bergen Audio Visual, Rent Fusion, National Micro Rentals, and Ganton.  He finished his career as a Sales Manager at Access Computer and AV Rentals.

John enjoyed the fast-paced atmosphere of New York City and for a time maintained an office there.  His work events brought him to many restaurants in the tri-state area where he would enthusiastically share detailed food reviews with everyone.  John’s real joy was the flea market business he had for many years with his late parents.  He became a fixture in the flea market community where he befriended many vendors and customers and became the go to expert on local markets.  

John is survived by his brother Don Martin and his wife Mary Sue of Mendham, his sister Ellen Martin and her husband Pete Apruzzese, his sister Barbara Donnelly and her husband Steve, all of Mountain Lakes, and his nieces and nephews, PJ Apruzzese, Patrick and Kelly Martin, and Meaghan and Erin Donnelly.  John was predeceased by his parents Donald Frank Martin (2016) and Doris Grace McKeown Martin (2018).
