In Memory of Rod Martin
In Memory of Longtime
CEM Board Member,
Rod Martin
Calvin Roderick Martin, son of Dorman
and Isabel Martin, born in Pocahontas,
Arkansas on August 7, 1948, went to see
his loving God on October 9, 2021 at the
age of 74. He was a devoted husband,
father, grandfather and friend. He was
surrounded by his family, who loved him
dearly, as he passed.
Rod is survived by his wife: Peggy
Martin; his children: Brandy (Matt)
Pledger, Jason (Shre Regina) Martin,
and Julie Martin; his stepchildren: Erica
(Clayton) Woodruff and Emily (Patrick) Sullenger; his 11 grandchildren: Ashton
Baltz; Savannah and Forest Pledger; Jake, Westin, and Boe Martin; Skyler Marley;
Malone and Tristen Woodruff; Karson and Will Haney; and his younger brother
and sister: Jeff (Cristina) Martin and Susan (Michael) Klein. He loved his family
more than anything.
Rod loved to read books, especially about religion, history and physics. Watching
a good storm roll in with the wind blowing was one of his favorite things to do.
You knew he loved you when he gave you a hard time and made you laugh. He was
a very strong, intelligent, loving, wise, and kind man. He loved his wife, his best
friend and soulmate, greatly. He will be missed but never forgotten.
Skip Martin's Tribute to Rod
59 years ago, a good-looking, long-haired boy walked into one of my seventh grade
classes. We had the same last name and we became best friends for life. We played
in the band, we played football, we double-dated. We did everything together you
can imagine, but after high school we drifted apart. So I was surprised to receive a
call from him one night, in 1973. He was very excited and said, “I’ve been reading
the Bible, and it doesn’t say many of the things we have been taught. Did you know
that Saturday is the day the we are to rest and worship God on?” I said, “No,” as my
eyes rolled toward the ceiling. But that was the start of another chapter in our lives.
Forward to 1980—I was asked to join the Board of the Church of God, International,
which is where I met Ron Dart. A few years later, at a Feast, I was able to introduce
Ron to Rod and they became immediate friends. After the founding of CEM, Rod
and I served on that Board together and in recent years, Rod and I spoke to each
other often. Rod loved his family deeply and was a faithful believer in Jesus Christ
and his Father. I’m not quite sure it has hit me that he is gone, but I do know that
we will see each other in the Kingdom to come.

Christian Educational Ministries
(CEM) was founded in November
1995 by the late Ron and Allie
Dart as an independent, non–
denominational ministry to
serve the public and individual
Christians of every kind.
Mr. Dart, was an ordained
minister and evangelist, has
served God through hundreds of
sermons, radio broadcasts, Bible
Studies, and books. His clear,
conversational style brings clarity
and simplicity to difficult Biblical
topics.
Ronald Dart’s radio ministry,
Born to Win, is broadcast around
the world and on the Born to Win
Download website.
