Obituary Notice
Martin Andrew (Marty) Haney, 66, of White Pigeon, passed away peacefully at his home on Sunday, May 17, 2026, wrapped in the immense love and devoted care of his family.
He was born March 23, 1960, in South Bend, Ind., the son of John and Marilyn “Toots” (Wood) Haney. Marty graduated from Constantine High School with the Class of 1978 and went on to study Art History at Eastern Kentucky University where he proudly played college baseball. His deep knowledge and lifelong passion for the sport never faded, and he remained a dedicated, die-hard Chicago Cubs fan throughout his life.
Marty later worked in sales and home design. Beyond his professional life, he was an extraordinarily talented artist, expressing his unique perspective and creativity through his artwork. He also cherished the simple joy of playing cards, especially sharing competitive games of pinochle with his brothers and family.
Above all, Marty adored his family. He spent many years living with and caring for his beloved mother, Toots, with whom he shared a deep, unbreakable bond. In his final weeks, Marty was comforted by the exceptional strength, and hands-on devotion of his brothers, and sister-in-law, who ensured he was surrounded by peace and dignity.
Remaining to cherish his beautiful memory are his older brother, Ed Haney, and his wife Lynn; his younger brother, Craig Haney, and his spouse Orlando; his daughter, Cayla Haney; and his dear friend and former wife, Carla. He is also survived by his cherished niece and nephew: Erin (Mike) and Ryan (Stephanie), along with their children, who brought great joy to his life.
Marty was preceded in death by his adored mother, Marilyn “Toots” Haney, and his father, John Haney.

“Uncle” Marty was one of a kind and I’m so grateful I got to meet him and enjoy his company. He was an amazing person and my thoughts are with his loved ones as they say goodbye. Love to the family extended Haney family. ❤️❤️❤️
So sorry to hear of Marty’s passing. We were on baseball teams together from Little League through high school. So many memories of Marty pitching and really not having to do too much. Marty didn’t let many guys hit to the outfield.
Thoughts and prayers for the family
I’m so sorry to hear this😢. Praying for his family
Marty was one of my favorites!! I am so going to miss him. He was more than just “someone” coming into the office. I am going to miss his sense of humor and all encompassing big hugs!!!
My heart goes out to the family, but I know he will be so happy to see his mom!! Losing her was very hard on him. In fact, the day she passed was my first interaction with Marty, (it didn’t go well initially) But he was distraught that day, and from that day forward, he was always such a bright spot in my day when he came to the office.
Yes!! He is truly going to be missed
