MARTIN ESSEX Martin Essex, 88, of Las Vegas, passed away Feb. 8, 2011. He was 
born Jan. 9, 1923, in New York, and was a 65-year resident of Nevada. Martin 
was a U.S. Marine Corps veteran of World War II stationed in the Pacific on 
the island of Okinawa while attached to the 6th Division Marines. He was a 
founder and board member of the Marine Corps League in Las Vegas. He served as 
chairperson of the annual Marine Corps Ball. He was a member of the Elks Club 
and a leader in the Boy Scouts organization. He originally came to Nevada to 
work on the construction of Boulder Dam. Since that time, he was a business 
owner and worked in the hotel industry. He assisted many new residents of Las 
Vegas to get established, helping them with housing and employment. He spent 
his last 30 business years as a 7-Eleven franchisee. Martin will be sorely 
missed by his family, friends, Marine Corps buddies and all those he assisted 
over the years. Martin was the beloved husband of Marilyn Essex for 65 years. 
He is also survived by his children, Bonnie and Lou Hillegass, Joan and Dan
