Chester Martin "Marty" Hinman
Oct. 23, 1928 – Sept. 3, 2025

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — Chester Martin Hinman, lovingly known as “Marty” to all who knew him, passed away peacefully at his home on Sept. 3, 2025.

He was born in Alhambra, California, and moved to Upper Lake as a young boy, where he would grow to become a beloved member of the community.

Marty now joins his beautiful wife, Pam, with whom he shared 47 wonderful years of marriage. Their love and partnership were a guiding light to all who knew them.

He is survived by his children: Scott Hinman (Irenessa), David Cutts (Pam), Tim Cutts and Susan Peters. He also leaves behind many cherished nieces, nephews, grandchildren and his first great-grandchild.

Marty proudly served in the United States Navy and later worked as a title officer, retiring after a dedicated career. In his retirement, he continued to enjoy his passions — writing, singing Barbershop harmony and traveling with Pam. Together, they explored the country, attended Barbershop conventions, and created a lifetime of memories with family and friends.

Known for his gentle nature and warm smile that could light up any room, Marty had a gift for helping others see things from a new perspective. His deep love for his family and unwavering commitment to them were the cornerstones of his character.

Marty will be forever missed and never forgotten. We hold his memory close in our hearts, comforted by the knowledge that he is at peace and reunited with the love of his life.

A private service will be held for the family.
