Martin "Marty" Scott Jennings

Martin "Marty" Scott Jennings, 63, completed his life on February 24, 2025. Born to the late Martin Joseph Jennings and Cecily Cornelia Englehardt on October 11th, 1961 in New York, New York, Marty's larger-than-life presence brought happiness to those around him through his whole life.

Marty grew up in Columbus, Georgia and was in the graduating Class of 1980 at William Henry Shaw High School before attending the University of West Georgia, where he made lifelong friends during his time as President of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity. After college, Marty began his career in the Mortgage Insurance Industry, spanning over 30 years. Taking great pride in the work he did, Marty often said, "I wake up every day excited to go to work."

Marty was fun-loving, gregarious and not easily forgotten. Marty was an avid golfer, enjoyed spending his free time lounging by the pool and was a University of Georgia football fanatic. Marty could often be seen sporting multiple Georgia "G's" on any given outfit, with Bulldog headcovers on his golf clubs or filling a tree with UGA ornaments on his favorite holiday, Christmas. Marty will be remembered for his unmatched sense of humor, his ability to lift our spirits at any given moment and the joy that being with his loved ones brought him.

In addition to his parents, Marty was pedeceased by his brother, Greg Jennings.

Marty leaves, to cherish his memory, his children; Alexis Marie Jennings, of Mt. Pleasant, SC and Andrew Martin Jennings, of North Charleston, SC; his siblings, Chris Jennings, Ronnie Jennings Collins and Cecily Jennings Hinton; his nine nieces and nephews; and his partner, Cindy. 

In lieu of flowers, Marty would wish for his friends and family to to spend time with their loved ones and enjoy a great meal together. A private burial will be held at a later date, returning Marty to his favorite place, Athens, GA.
