Martin Baber

Ramey

Martin Baber Ramey, fondly known to family and friends as "Buddy," passed away on September 26, 2026, at the age of 55. Born on December 29, 1970, in Cheverly, Maryland, Martin was raised by his loving parents, Carolyn and Martin C. Ramey. Known for his sense of adventure, humor, and fun-loving nature, Buddy had a remarkable ability to make people laugh and enjoy the moment. His warmth and deep love for his family remained at the heart of who he was throughout his life.

Martin pursued his education at Towson State University, earning his degree in Economics in 1994. After beginning his career in banking, he found his true calling in home improvement sales, where his personality, humor, and ability to connect with just about anyone allowed him to thrive. Never one to sit still for long, Buddy loved being active and was always ready for the next adventure, whether mountain biking, hiking, kayaking, camping, or hitting the gym. Even better was sharing those experiences, and plenty of laughs along the way, with his friends and family.

Above all, Martin cherished the relationships he built throughout his life. He is survived by his three sons, Tyler, Samuel "Sam", and Jacob, and their mother, Jennifer "Jen". He is also survived by his partner, Marie Jose ("MJ"), and her sons, Youssef and Elias; his father, Martin C., his brother, Thomas "Tom", and his sister, Sandy, along with their children; and his dear friends, Tom and John. Martin was preceded in death by his beloved mother, Carolyn, and his sister, Jane.

Buddy will be remembered for the laughter he brought to others, his love of adventure, and the joy he found in spending time with family and friends. His fun-loving spirit and the many memories he created will be deeply cherished by all who knew and loved him. A private ceremony will be held to honor his life in accordance with his family’s wishes. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to a charity of choice in his memory.
