David M. Nolan

David Michael Nolan, 77, of Camillus, NY, passed away at Upstate University Hospital on Tuesday, June 10, 2025, with family by his side. David was born in Griffin, GA on September 17th, 1947. After high school, he admirably served our country in the U.S. Air Force. Upon his service completion, David moved with his parents, Charlene Biles Martin and Donald K. Martin, to Camillus, NY, where he resided for over 50 years. David married Jeanne King and they went on to have two children, Shawn M. Nolan (Joanne) and Erin M. MacArthur (James). David is also survived by son Donald R. Nolan of Chicago, IL. David and Jeanne celebrated 51 years of marriage earlier this year. David was a hard worker, sharing his talents as a meat cutter at the Village IGA for 15 years. Several years ago, he retired from Tessy Plastics in Elbridge, NY. In his spare time he enjoyed scratch offs, crossword puzzles, flower gardening and birds. David’s true loves in life included the New York Yankees, SU Basketball, sweet tea, and above all, his four beloved grandchildren: Drew and Dylan Nolan and Layla and Finn MacArthur. He never missed their sporting events, concerts, birthdays or an opportunity to travel and make memories together. David was ‘Grandpa’ to many others that were not relatives by birth. His loss leaves a void in the hearts of many who knew and loved him. In addition to Jeanne, his children, their spouses and grandchildren, David is survived by his mother Charlene Martin, sisters Pam Rood and Sharon (Phill) Milano, brothers Carlton (Debra) Martin, Lee (Susan) Martin and Garrett (Brenda) Martin.
