Martin Nassr Obituary

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Fr. Marty was a wonderful inspiration and his caring heart, love of life, and service to all his parishioners was a tremendous blessing to the congregation at St. Michaels's in Findlay. He will forever be remembered in my heart as a light in the world. Peace be with him and all who love and miss him.

I will always remember Father Nassr´s Music class at Central. It taught me a few things about music and life that I will always carry with me. God bless Father Marty and his family. He lives on in me and many other students whose lives he touched.

I was blessed that Fr. Marty was pastor at St Michael's in Findlay (1992) when I was coming to become Catholic via RCIA. I still have one of his small ceramic frogs (Friends of God's Son).

To Father Marty´s family.. my condolences . He truly was a holy man and a gift to everyone he met. He was a great comfort to our family and all his parishioners whenever he was needed. RIP Father.

Such a great person!!priest, friend, inspiration

Treasuring a friendship of many years. You will be greatly missed Marty. Our condolences to your family.

We came to know Fr. Marty when he was first assigned to St. Michael in Findlay. Sister Karen was a member of the pastoral staff and Sister Barbara, who had recently moved to Toledo after 16 years in ministry at the parish school, was a frequent visitor. Fr. Marty was truly a servant leader who encouraged and valued partnership with his brother priests, women religious, and laity in responding to the needs of those in the parish community and beyond. Noting his many involvements with groups throughout the Diocese of Toledo, one would say that he was a "convener" - we can only imagine the number of contacts noted on his phone and computer! Fr. Marty, rest in God´s eternal embrace; we can hear God´s welcome, "well done, good and faithful servant."

Father Marty and I were friends before grade school and we attended the same grade & high schools. He said the Funeral Mass for my wife, Mary, and was a great comfort to me. He never stopped being a Priest and Comforter.

So sad to hear about Father Nassr´s passing. We were students of his at Central Catholic in his religion class and recently spoke with him at OLPH after mass about our time at Central. He was always a pleasure to speak with. Sing in the Heavens Father Nassr!

Marty & I were good friends during our high school years at St. Francis. After that, I entered the Jesuits, and Marty the Diocese. Unfortunately we have seldom met since. I have only the best of memories of him and condolences for all his friends.

We will miss you Father Marty. You were there for us when our loved ones were taking their final breath. He would send our family special texts on the anniversary of my brother, parents & mother in laws death. He was so kind & thoughtful Eternal peace to you Father Marty! We love you

Fr Marty officiated at our Marriage Oct 23, 1971. We thought of him many times through the years but we had moved out of the area as my husband was in the Navy. Never saw him again until this past summer. We were home in Huron visiting family and there he was at Mass at St Peters! What a surprise and we talked and reminisced. We are forever grateful we reunited. He Blessed our life and May he now Rest in Peace.

So sorry for your lossFr. Marty told me not too long ago that he still had a bunny I made him many years ago... a priest bunny, named Barney Bartholomew Bunny... had a couple of vestments. He used different puppets etc. for the children´s Masses. Fr. Marty was one of a kind for sure
