Kamuela “Kam” Christian von Hassell Martin, age 35, of Dickson, passed away on Thursday, October 16, 2025, at Horizon Medical Center.
Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Christina Hassell and Watters Martin Jr., Kam devoted his life to service and compassion. He worked as a property manager at New Beginnings LLC in Dickson, but his impact extended far beyond his job title. Kam was a dedicated mentor and a guiding light for many in the recovery community not only in Dickson but across a wide reach.
Kam will be remembered for his infectious smile, joyful laugh, and deep love for people. His presence lit up every room, and his passion for helping others touched countless lives.
A Celebration of Life will be held in Hawaii at a later date.

I will always remember the good times that Kamuela and I shared. He was always so much fun to be around and so funny! I loved his sense of humor, his love for cars, and mostly his love for his family. I will truly miss my brother.
Our deepest sympathies and aloha to you, Christy and Watters, and Kamuelaʻs family. He will be missed by us here in Hawaii for the warm and generous young man that he was. Kamuela’s quick wit and keen sense of humor brought laughter and joy to us on many an occasion. We will always cherish those and
years of wonderful memories of the precious cousin he was. Me ke aloha pumehana, Mary, Stephanie, Chris, and Grant Schlink
My prayers & love go out to you Christy & Watters.
I will always remember Kam as a bright blue eyed, blonde haired all-American boy who I loved going candy shopping with me and his Mom when I would come to Oahu. I was so pleased to read that he served as a mentor to many in the recovery community. What a wonderful service and I am sure he was loved by all. God rest your young soul, Kam.
Dear Cristy and Watters,
I just wanted to reach out to let you know that you’re in my thoughts during this difficult time. Please don’t hesitate to let me know if there’s anything I can do to support you.
Sending you love and strength.
With love,

Rest in Peace Kamuela , going to miss you !

Kamuela’s time here was far too short. I will remember him for the moments and not the years.
He shared with me his enthusiasm for timepieces-not just their beauty or craftsmanship, but I think, for what they symbolize. Every “tick” is a reminder that our time together is precious. AND, every second is a chance to begin again. His journey to wellness was not just about endurance, but grace, strength and courage. He showed me that every day is a fresh start and that time and gratitude can be my friend. I am left with not only memories but hope, laughter and an appreciation for life’s simple moments. His memory will remind me to wind my watch, take a breath and cherish the time we have. Every second can shine with purpose.
