Martin was born on September 21, 1932 in Solen, ND to Mathias and Magdalene (Martin) Magilke. Always known for his dependability, he dedicated his hard work and time into farming, ranching and livestock. In June of 1958, he joined the United States Army and honorably discharged later that year.
Fun loving and optimistic, Martin enjoyed life at its fullest often you could hear him humming a tune. He was generous with his time, willing to help anyone without ever expecting anything in return. He lived an independent lifestyle, enjoyed the simple things in life and never wanted to be a burden to anyone. He leaves this world at peace with all who knew and loved him.
Martin will be greatly missed by sisters; Eva (Ralph) Leingang, Bismarck, Regina Bacon. Vera Beach, FL, Magdalene (Alphonse) Fleck, Veronica (Leonard) Beckler of Mandan, brothers; Tom (Mona) Magilke, Matt (Carolyn) Magilke of Bismarck, George Magilke, Mandan, John (Helen) Magilke, Lincoln, along with his nieces and nephews.
Martin was preceded in death by his parents, infant sister; Katherine, infant brother; Joe, two sisters; Frances (Ed) Grotberg and Matilda (Warren) Gullickson, two brothers-in-law; Milton Bacon and Tom Tibbets, and eight nephews.

May GOD BLESS you, and take you in his arms Martin. I only knew you alittle bit. I only wish I knew you better. You were my uncle and even though we didn't know each other. If I had to do over, I would have been up to North Dakota to know everyone up there. May you rest in peace and be with your parents and sisters. Love you!!!

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Martin Magilke family. Martin was the first neighbor we met when we moved to Mandan and our kids today and forever will remember him as Uncle Martin. He was always willing to lend a hand and always made us smile. |

We lived across the street on Sunset Drive from Martin since 1967. His presence was such a comfort, especially to me. Martin would drop by often just to see if everything was OK. He would tend to my large gardens whenever I needed to be gone during the summer. Such a dependable, outgoing, friendly neighber is very, very rare today. I cannot put into words how much he will be missed in our neighborhood. It's just not the same. His home on Sunset Drive sits empty now, but it brings back many memories just to sit on my front deck and gaze at it every now and then. Martin would sit on the front steps of his home in the evening on hot summer days and just watch the goings on around him, as I do as well. After a snowfall, he would be out shovelling snow almost immediately. And his capacity for helping people knew no boundaries. His passing leaves an emptiness that will be very hard to replace. To his family, I pray that instead of mourning his passing, remember the wonderful person Martin was. In my mind, he is irreplaceable.
