Zan was my cousin's husband. He was hilarious...kept me laughing when I visited him. He was such a nice person. Rest now Zan. Lois from Charlotte
Our deepest condolences to the family and friends. Zan's brother Billy and his family were neighbors for all of my life. I can't remember if it was an old Chevy or Ford, but when the two of them rode together, it was always a comical scene because of their size difference in a large car. May they ride together again. The Harber's
My condolences to Zan Martin and the family. May he rest easy.
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
