Obituary for Martin James Queen

Martin James Queen ~ Peacefully on Wednesday April 8, 2020, Martin passed away in his 58th year. Dearly loved by his mother May Queen and the late Jim Queen; partner Lisa Youmans; former Spouse Tanya Queen; children Breanne and James. Cherished brother of Anne Queen (Stephen Blanchard), John Queen, and Christine Queen (Robert Fennimore). Martin will be forever in our hearts, and will be greatly missed by his many nieces, nephews and friends.

Martin’s spirit of giving was demonstrated through his involvement with a number of organizations. As a founding Board Member of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Regina, he was a committed community volunteer and inspired others to give of their time. Martin sat on numerous Boards of Directors including the Belleville General Hospital Foundation and the United Way of Quinte, and as past Chair of The Children’s Foundation of Belleville. Acting as a Coach and Manager for the Belleville Bearcats and Belleville Jr. Bulls allowed him to combine a love of sport and community with his devotion to his children.

Martin’s career with Sears Canada spanned over 30 years, starting with a part time high school job at the Lindsay store progressing through the ranks to the role of National Logistics Manager in Belleville.

Martin had a zest for life and a love of travel and adventure. He had a never ending desire to help others, and a strong Catholic faith which brought him comfort in difficult times.

A Mass of Christian Burial and celebration of life will be announced at a later date.
