Obituary
Mikah T. Martin, 6, of Mt. Pulaski
passed away on Sunday, November 5, 2023.
Mikah Thomas Martin was born October 16, 2017, in
Springfield, at a whopping 9 lb. 3.5 oz. He was the
happiest baby in the Martin clan. You could find him
giggling most days on his own but could easily
trigger a belly laugh with tickles, blowing on his
belly, jokes, or using a little playful trick. He
loved games, jumping on the trampoline, treasure
hunts, swinging, playgrounds, pinatas, animals
(especially dogs and horses), playing outside
(especially at Mimi’s), sleepovers, and
Birthdays/Halloween/Christmas.
Mikah loved bathing and swimming and was known for
his excellent belly flops into the pool. He was
jumping in the pool at 21 months. He also loved
being naked. I would often lose track of him and he
would be outside in the sand or playing with water
and without clothes. Sometimes he would go through 4
outfits a day. You also may catch him mooning you
some days, as he loved shaking and showing his booty
matching his love for farts, poops, butts, and
whoopee cushions.
Our wild child, for sure, even rocked a solid mullet
for some time. Mikah loved movies, stuffed animals,
and legos. He loved games, but really wanted to win
:). He was our creative kid - loved coloring,
colors, and arts & crafts. He loved dancing and had
some outrageous moves.
Mikah so loved his brothers Lukas, Noah, and his new
baby sister, Julieanne. He loved his whole family,
and we sure loved him. He was diagnosed with
Burkitt’s Leukemia on February 7, 2023. He continued
to have consistent recurrent leukemia, but Mighty
Mikah never gave up until his last breath. I guess
no matter what we could have done here on earth, God
wanted him home more. He is no longer in discomfort.
He has no more testing or any medical concerns. He
is free and so very happy again.
Mikah was welcomed into heaven on November 5th,
2023, at the young age of 6 years old. I know he ran
into Jesus’ sweet embrace. I’m sure Mikah called
Jesus a “coo-coo-butt” or some other playful name.
Dear Mikah, we will miss you with every waking
breath until we meet again. We love you Mikah Thomas
Martin, fly high our sweet baby.
Mikah is survived by his parents, Jesse and Kimberly
(Oglesby) Martin; his paternal grandparents, Thomas
and Candy Martin; his maternal grandparents, Carl
and Julie Oglesby; his siblings, Lukas, Noah, and
Julieanne Martin; his aunts & uncles, Katie (Tyler)
White, Kristin (Brian) Griffiths, Kelsey Oglesby
(Fiancé Colton Leake), J. Martin, and Sarah Martin;
his cousins, Preston, Phinn, Paislee, John, Sam, and
Ben.
A Celebration of Mikah’s life will be held on
Friday, November 10, 2023, from 4:00-7:00 pm at The
Family Life Center in Mt. Pulaski. A private family
graveside service will be held at a later date. In
Lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to
Kim or Jesse Martin to create a foundation in
Mikah’s memory.
Services have been entrusted to
Fricke-Calvert-Schrader Funeral Home, Mt. Pulaski.
