Champion – Martin Jerome "Marty" "Jerry" Letscher, 84, of Champion passed away suddenly on Tuesday, May 12, 2026 surrounded by his family.

Martin was born on September 23, 1941 in Sharon, PA. He attended St. Mary's High School in Warren and went on to have an extensive career in manufacturing, retiring as a tow motor driver at Delphi Packard.

Outside of work, Martin's number one hobby was travelling the country with his wife, Beverly. They attended countless sprint car and Nascar races over the years, travelling by RV and making many lasting friendships along the way. Martin also enjoyed football and was a rare breed by cheering on both the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Cleveland Brown and the Pittsburgh Steelers. He also had an extensive collection of tools and household items, always prepared with a backup in case it was needed. Most of all, he cherished the time he spent with those he loved and he will be deeply missed.

Martin will always be remembered by his wife of 64 years and travelling companion, Beverly (Takat) Letcher; daughter, Lauri Letscher; second daughter, Lisa Jennings and many loved cousins.

Martin was preceded in death by his beloved mother, Victoria Letscher; two infant brothers; in-laws, Frank and Hazel Takat and many loved aunts and uncles.
