Jorris was born June 4, 1924 in Nevis, Minnesota, the third son of Melvin and Mayme (McCoy) Martin. He was baptized in Akeley, Minnesota and was confirmed in Clermont on May 25, 1940. In 1926 the family moved to the Marquette/McGregor area where they farmed with another family. They moved several times before ending up in the Clermont/Elgin area.

In 1946 to 1947, Jorris served as a Paratrooper in the United States Army and was stationed in Japan during the Occupation. He met Lucille Elizabeth Kuepker of Sumner and they married January 26, 1949. The four children born to this union were James, Sharon, Sandra and Steven. They were married 36 years until she died unexpectedly in 1985. Jorris farmed with his father in his early years and worked at Cappers Hatchery in Elgin. He worked for Fayette County as a shop foreman for fourteen years until his retirement in 1987. Jorris was a member of the Elgin American Legion Post #352. He enjoyed meeting his friends to eat breakfast and work the crossword puzzles in the daily papers at Old Times. He loved to garden, he could fix anything, kids and animals adored him and he enjoyed spending time with family and friends. Jorris was a wonderful dad, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend to many. He will be missed by all who knew him. Jorris is survived by his two daughters, Sharon Peterson of Blue River, Wisconsin, Sandra (Steve) Cummings of Elgin and his son, Steven (Bambi) Martin of Randalia; granddaughters, Lisa Dummermuth of Elgin, Jayme Butikofer (fiance, Josh Hennings) of Readlyn, Bethany and Nicole Funk of Randalia , and Chantel Perez of Waukon; grandsons, DeeJae (Karissa) Butikofer of West Union and Robbie (Toni) Butikofer of Tripoli; great-granddaughters, Angela and Andrea Dummermuth, Kennadi, Riley and Presley Butikofer, Addyson Schroeder, Brianna Medina, and great-grandsons, Jayden, Kale and Drew Butikofer and Bryce Schroeder.

The family would like to express their appreciation to all the casketbearers for honoring Jorris. You knew he thought the world of each of you. Thanks to Father Rausch for his visits which were so comforting to Jorris and his family.
