Martin LeBaron Obituary

Dear LeBaron Family,

I was fortunate enough to have had two classes with Marty this past year at Loyola. Even though I only knew him this year, he had a bigger impact than people I had known all four years. As you already know, Marty was a wonderful person, and I will truly miss him. Thank you for raising such a great son. All my prayers are with you and Marty.

He was truely a great friend and person I will miss the many days we shared on the volleyball team and in school. I will remember him as long as I live.

Mary, Jon, Patty & Brian - We feel privileged to have had Marty in our lives. What a wonderful human being he was in such a short period of time. You and all of your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Love - The O'Brien Family (Tim, Jo, Jim and Sarah)

Dear Jon, Mary, Patty, and Brian,



Know that Marty touched so many lives in his short time here. I will always remember Marty as a kid who loved to laugh. It was his laughter and smiling face that I will remember and cherish. He will always be in my heart. He taught me to live each moment and take nothing for granted. He will be missed but never forgotten!



As always- Keep on Keeping on,

Dear LeBaron Family,

Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Marty was a classmate of mine at Loyola Academy and though I was not very close with him, I know that he is a person who will never be forgotten. His kindness, laughter, and love will shine through and live on through the many people that he has touched throughout his life.

Jon, Mary, and Family,



My thoughts and prayers are with you. I am sure that Marty received all of your love and care. May God bless you with the knowledge that your son no longer must suffer, and that he is in a better place.

“Do not look forward to changes in life in fear; rather look to them with hope that as they arise,

God, whose you are, will deliver you out of them. Hold fast to His dear hand and He will lead you safely through all things, and when you cannot stand, He will bear you in his arms.



Do not look forward in fear to what may happen tomorrow; the same everlasting Father who cares for you today will take care

of you tomorrow and every day. Either He will shield you from suffering, or He will give you unfailing strength to bear it..



Be at peace then and put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginations”.

We will always remember Marty for the wounderful person thst he was. He is in our thoughts and prayers.I will never forget all of those cold winter days when Marty , Sean , Jake and who ever else could fit in my blue wagon . I would just sit back and listen to them tell me how their day went.Marty will be missed and thought of daily. Please remember you are in our thoughts and prayers. THE NORADIN FAMILY

Mart: All who knew you will struggle as to why you were taken from this world too early. Our continual struggles may only be helped by knowing that in just your Eighteen years you have taught the world who interacted with you incredible lessons of dignity, the significance of a world of courage you possessed and how a sense of humor plays a pivotal role in our sense of being. Thank you for being and continuing to be an inspiration in all of our lives. You spirit will be with us forever. Peace and love,

I will always remember Marty for the smiles he brought to my face when we were both kids. Always full of life and joy. He wasn't a little annoying brother of my friend. You wanted to be around him. What a special soul.

Marty is and will always be an inspiration to those who met him. His passion for life was clearly evident in his everyday actions. His smile, laugh, personality, and kindness will be missed by all. Marty is in a better place and he will never ever be forgotten. My prayers go out to Marty's family and friends.

LeBaron Family,



I am blessed to have had Marty on my soccer team and in several classes. He added a welcome spirt to everything he participated in at Loyola. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of his life.

I work at L.A. in the Dean's office, and I'd see Marty occasionally for late check in or leaving early. He was always very polite and sweet. I will never forget the standing ovation Marty got at graduation. I cried for that and not my son Andy graduating. My prayers are for your family in this darkest time. Please take care and know that Marty was loved by all at l.A.

TAKE COMFORT THAT MARTY'S GENTLE SOUL IS IN THE ARMS OF GOD AND HIS ANGELS. WHEN YOU SEE A SHINING STAR LOOKING DOWN FROM HEAVEN, KNOW THATS MARTY SMILING DOWN ON ALL HE LOVES. MARTY NOW HAS THE COMFORT OF THE LORD.

The McDole family offers our deepest condolences to the LeBaron family. We remember Marty as the kindest player on the Wildwood Packers, and an easy going, friendly person. We were blessed in knowing him, and he will be greatly missed.

Dear Jon and Family, I know words can not express my pain for your loss. Please take comfort in knowing that Marty is at peace with our Lord and that you and your family will remain in my prayers and thoughts.

God Bless, Bill Burns

May Angels Keep You



May the angels light your morning,

And guide you through the night,



May they comfort all your sorrows,

May they help you win the fight.



May they keep watch over your soul,

And show you better ways,



May they guard you while you're sleeping,

And see you through your days.



May they calm your every fear,

And hear you when you shout,



May they show you bright new hopes,

And still your every doubt.

Marty was a dear friend to all who knew him. He will never be forgotten. His sense of humor, strength, and kind soul has forever left an impression on my heart. May he rest in peace and watch over all who loved him.

Dear Jon, Mary, Patty, Brian and Family,

Knowing and being with Marty has been a blessing for all who have touched his life. He, indeed, was a remarkable young man who gave unceasingly until the day he died. His charm and smile will always be remembered and it's because of you, his family, that Marty was the man he was. Your family is to be commended for the faith, courage, devotion and laughter that you bring to life each day. You're all truly remarkable. Thank you, Marty, for being more loving in the eighteen years that you've been with us than many men are in an entire "full" lifetime. You've been remarkable. Love and prayers to you all.

Dear LeBaron Family, You have shown your strength as a family united around Marty and his illness. Now you must be even stronger in his memory to get through the daily obstacles knowing that Marty is finally painfree and at peace. The Schneider Family

Dearest Marty, Sometimes it takes the courage and fortitude of a young man to remind us older men what the real important things are in life.It also reminds us that your faith guarantees us that your pain and fears are over and that you are home and in peace with the Lord.Rest in the peace of knowing that you are loved by more people than you can ever have imagined. The Mungari Family

We will always remember Marty for the wonderful young man that he was, and for his courage. Jon, Mary, Patty and Brian please know that you are always in our thoughts and prayers.
