Waynesville--Martin Richard Haymond was born in West Palm Beach, FL during the great hurricane of 1935. His parents were the late Luther and Clara Haymond. At twenty years of age, he married his sweetheart, Joy. They had four children together, and Martin proved to be a caring and devoted father. When his boys became boy scouts, he involved himself by becoming a boy scout leader. He enjoyed traveling and boating and hiking with his family, among many other activities.
Martin learned to fly in the Navy, becoming skilled at taking off from and landing on aircraft carriers. He continued to serve his country in the Navy reserves while he went on to have a long career as an airline pilot; more than thirty years with Pan American (until they collapsed), and five years with United Airlines.
Martin always strived to be faithful to God. He served many ways in the church, from teaching to building and maintenance work. He was a loved and respected member of Key Largo Baptist Temple in Key Largo, FL and Antioch Baptist Church in Waynesville, NC. He also was a Gideon, dedicating himself to the spread of God's Word.
Since his retirement, Martin and Joy have been busier than ever building a nonprofit Christian family camp in Waynesville, NC. It is called Mountain Top Experience. This endeavor has come from a lifelong desire to help families draw closer to each other and to God.
Martin leaves behind his wife of fifty-three years, Joy Haymond; two sons, Lee Haymond and spouse Cynthia Johnson, and Ben Haymond and his wife Anne; two daughters, Laura Bell and her husband Bobby, and Holly Turner and her husband Jeff; eight grandchildren, Shannon, Matthew, Missy and Hannah Bell, Nathan and Justin Haymond, and Lindsey and Nicholas Turner; and two great-grandchildren, Rhiannon Bell and Kylie Bell-Hinnant. He is also survived by his sister, Gladys Moschera, and two brothers, Gordon and Ken Haymond.
He is loved and sorely missed by a great number of friends and family; but we know we can celebrate the start of his new and exciting life with the Lord.
Services will be held at 2:00 PM Wednesday, December 10 at Antioch Baptist Church. A public viewing will be held from 1:00 to 2:00 PM prior to the service at the church. The family will greet friends in the church fellowship hall at the conclusion of the service. Burial will be in Antioch Baptist Church Cemetery.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Mountaintop Experience Christian Retreat, 73 Solid Rock Road, Waynesville, NC 28785.
