Martin and Willy were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple on June 14, 1963. He served actively in many callings throughout his long life. He and Willy especially loved serving in the Temple which provided them the opportunity to serve in the Frankfurt Germany Temple on two different missions.

He is survived by his spouse Phyllis de Jong, sons Johannes de Jong (Ann), Ingolf Johannes Cornelis de Jong (Wendy), Frank de Jong (Jolene), 12 grandchildren, and 17 great grandchildren.
