In 1981, Martin E. Larson “Mr. Marty” started a small business named Marty’s Used Tires. He continued to work in the shop through 2021, even as his son, Marty Larson, took the business over as Mr. Marty grew older. For the 40 years he worked here, he watched the business grow and change, and his heart remained loyal and dedicated to making this business a place where anyone who walked through the door would feel welcomed and appreciated. He loved his family, friends, employees, and customers deeply. Mr. Marty sadly passed away on March 8th of 2021, but his legacy lives on each morning with the opening of the shop doors. He was loved by so many and is now buried at the Andersonville National Cemetery alongside his fellow freedom fighters. Thank you, Mr. Marty, for your service to this country and to this little town of Americus, GA. You will always be remembered.
