MARTIN K. MAGID,
90, passed away
peacefully at home on
Friday, Nov. 15, 2024,
with his devoted and
loving family at his side.
People who knew Marty talk
about his curiosity, his openness
and his generosity of spirit. Marty
enjoyed people and made friends
wherever he went. If he saw you
carrying an interesting camera or
wearing the logo of a Detroit sports

team, he’d walk right up with a huge
smile on his face, crack a joke and
start a conversation, whether you
were in Georgia, Lithuania or New
York. Pretty soon you’d be telling
him your life story. If you had a
dog, he would definitely pet it. He
didn’t make acquaintances; he made
friends. Whenever he traveled, he’d
come home with a few rolls of film
and a couple of new pen pals.
Marty was born and raised in
Detroit and lived much of his life
there, as well as in Los Angeles
and Athens, Georgia. He worked
as an engineer while attending law
school at night. He spent years as
an attorney and administrative law
judge for the EEOC and the Social
Security Administration, but he’d
tell you that the best job he ever had
was working as a diaper delivery
driver the year he got out of the
Army.

On the evening of Nov. 15, Marty
was in home hospice, surrounded by
his family. He opened his eyes for a
moment and focused on his wife’s
face. He gave her that big, loving
smile, then gently closed his eyes
again and faded away.
Marty is survived by his wife,
Susan Magid Beale; his children,
Gary Magid (Paula Magid),
Linda Magid Duncan (Don “DC”
Duncan), Mark Henderson (Elena
Goldstein) and Annie Blaauw (Brett
Blaauw). He is also survived by
grandchildren, Ezra Henderson,
Sam Henderson, Seth Blaauw,
Stefan Ashdown and Kristin
Swoveland (nee Ashdown); great-
grandchildren, Jackson Mendenhall,
Wesley Mendenhall, and Rory
Swoveland. Marty is also survived
by his brother, Ralph Magid (Stevie
Magid); and many loving nieces and
nephews.

He was preceded in death by his
son, Steven Magid; daughter-in-
law, Sheila Magid; his mother, Ann
Magid; father, Benjamin Magid; his
sister, Nancy Miller. He was also
preceded in death by his beloved
dog Daisy.
If you wish to make a donation
in Marty’s name, the family
recommends the International
Rescue Committee. A memorial is
planned for the spring in Michigan.
