Caiden Alexander Martin

Caiden Alexander Martin, passed away on June 5, 2025, in Dothan, Alabama, at the tender age of 20. Born in Dothan, Alabama to Zacchaeus Trimm Martin, Jr., and Sarah Martin, on March 20, 2005, Caiden was a beacon of light from his very first breath. He was the cherished brother of Kara Martin and the adored grandson of Debbie and Andy Johnson. His extended family included his doting aunts and uncles, Heather (Jeremy) Roberts, Shawn Cherry, Gina (Carlos Ramos) Esparza, Amber (Randall) Adams, and Pam (Tim) Silavent, as well as his cousin, Tristin Lawrence. Caiden's life was made even more joyful by the companionship of his special K9 friend, Cookie Martin. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Zacchaeus Martin, Sr., John Cook, and Jane Cook, who have welcomed him with open arms on the other side.

He attended Dothan High School, Caiden's artistic talents shone brightly, earning him a scholarship in graphic design. His creativity was not only evident in his academic pursuits but also in his early work life at Sam's Club, where he made countless friends and left an indelible mark on those he worked with and customers he saw daily.

Caiden's interests were as diverse as they were passionate. A skilled gamer, he could often be found with a controller in hand, his infectious laugh filling the room. His artistic nature extended beyond the screen; he was a kind-hearted soul, always ready to share his talents and time with others. Caiden's love for his family was immeasurable, and he demonstrated this love through his selfless acts of kindness.

An avid Alabama Football fan, Caiden's enthusiasm for his team was matched only by his zest for life. He relished the opportunity to explore new cuisines in the kitchen, to dive into the underwater world while snorkeling, and to embark on adventures that would become cherished memories.

Described by those who knew him as loving, friendly, and selfless, Caiden's legacy is one of warmth and generosity. His ability to connect with others, to bring joy and laughter into any room, and to give without expecting anything in return are the hallmarks of a life well-lived, albeit too short.

The family will open their hearts to friends at the funeral home from 12-2 pm the same day, sharing stories and memories of a life that, while brief, was filled with love and laughter.
