Andrew Douglas

Martin

Andrew Douglas Martin, age 26, of Pineville, Missouri, passed away on November 8, 2026. He was born on November 15, 1999, in Rolla, Missouri.

He graduated from McDonald County High School and was known as a hard worker who was great with his hands and very smart. He had a natural ability to figure things out and could repair almost anything placed before him. One story his family often remembered was from when he was only five years old. He, his sister Sidney, and his friends were rolling down a hill in a wagon when the wheel came off, and Andrew, still just a little boy, gathered spare parts from an old scooter in the garage and repaired the wagon wheel himself. Even at that young age, he showed the resourcefulness and determination that would define him throughout his life. Andrew was a Christian and had recently started attending the Baptist Church in Jane, Missouri.

Andrew made friends easily and never met a stranger. He had a warm personality, a quick wit, and a wonderful sense of humor that brought laughter to those around him. His family lovingly described him as beyond ornery, and he was known for his playful spirit and the joy he brought into everyday moments. He was also the one everyone joked was “mom’s favorite,” a title he wore with pride and a smile.

Andrew loved the outdoors and found peace and happiness in nature. He enjoyed fishing and could fish anywhere, as his family often said he would fish in a puddle if he could. He also enjoyed swimming, camping, collecting guns, and spending time outside whenever he had the chance. He loved dogs and had a deep appreciation for the simple pleasures of life. More than anything, he loved his family and friends, and he valued the time he spent with the people closest to him.

He is survived by his son, Silus Martin; his mother, Crystal O’Brien; his father, Robert C. Martin III; his stepfather, Ernie O’Brien; his stepmother, Vickie Martin; his sister, Sidney Springston; his nephew, Noah Sprinston; and his half-sister, Sarah Martin.

He was preceded in death by his half-brother, Robbie Inge.

Funeral services are Thursday, November 12, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. at Ozark Funeral Home in Anderson, Missouri, with Pastor John Payne officiating. Arrangements are under the care of Ozark Funeral Home in Anderson, Missouri.
