Kenneth Brion Marti
July 14, 1971-September 8, 2026

Kenneth Brion "Ken" Marti, 55, of the Dogtown area of the City of St. Louis, Missouri, passed away on September 8, 2026.

Ken was born on July 14, 1971, to Sandra Poehlmann and Joseph "Joe" Marti Sr.

He was preceded in death by his father, Joseph "Joe" Marti Sr.; his stepmother, Misty Marti; and his siblings, Dominica Marie Marti and Richard Kenneth Marti, both of whom died in infancy.

Ken is survived by his son, Kenneth Perry; his mother, Sandra Poehlmann; and his stepfather, Doug Moise. He is also survived by his siblings: Joseph (Susie) Marti Jr.; his twin brother, Greg (Stacy) Marti; Mark Marti; Nathan (Kati) Stortz; Keith Marti; and Joedy Marti. He also leaves behind his beloved dog, Nisha; many nieces and nephews; extended family members; and friends.

Ken was a dedicated employee of Marti Motors Inc., where he worked for 14 years.

Those who knew Ken will remember him as a kindhearted man with a sweet soul who was always willing to help others. From an early age, he was outgoing, funny, and full of personality. Known as the class clown during his school years, Ken had a natural ability to make those around him laugh. He carried that playful and lighthearted spirit with him throughout his life.

Ken was a devoted son who shared an especially close bond with his mother. His family lovingly remembers him as a true "momma's boy." He also shared a special twin bond with his brother, Greg.

Ken found happiness in life's simple pleasures. He enjoyed walking down to the neighborhood gas station for lunch, relaxing, and occasionally trying his luck on the local gaming machines. He shared a special bond with Nisha, taking her outside and for walks each morning while she faithfully slept beside him each night.

Ken's kind heart, lively personality, sense of humor, and love for his family will be deeply missed. His memory will remain forever in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
