A Founding Father
David G Martin
Oct. 20, 1935 - Sept. 27, 2024
Music was at the heart of David Martin's life. He loved to play. Whether he was performing in a crowded room or at a jam session at home, his music had a way of making the room smile. His trumpet and singing was always passionate and full of joy and humor. It echoed his love for life and his commitment to music, friends and family. He would often show up at gigs and bring the house down with his version of Jump, Jive and Wail or Kansas City. One thing he was proud of was helping to start Hayward La Honda Music Camp, a music camp that lives on in the Santa Cruz Mountains. He loved that place and the camaraderie and lifelong friends it provided.
Beyond music though, David Martin was a mentor and a teacher to everyone lucky enough to be around him. He had a heart full of generosity, encouraging others to be their best in music, work, or life. He encouraged everyone to play music. His jokes and his love of life was infectious.
His love of life and music will be missed by all of us.

Hayward La Honda Music Camp is a non-profit organization whose mission is to inspire young musicians to achieve their best musically, to enjoy a great social and recreational experience, and take- home memories that will last a lifetime.
The Camp is organized to challenge students in a variety of creative pursuits and is devoted to the development of musicianship for students grades 6 – 12 (aged 11-19). This is accomplished through a highly supportive Camp structure and concentrated program of rehearsal, performance, study, recreation and general camp life in the beautiful surroundings of YMCA Camp Jones Gulch.
Our Camp has a strong tradition of passionately supporting musicianship for all students regardless of financial need. This has been met through the generosity of individuals and businesses.
The support of our Donors and Sponsors is vital to the continuing success of our scholarship program.
