Daryl Zimmerman Martin was 17 when he died on June 10, 2017, in South Dakota in what public notices described as a hunting accident. He was identified as being from Elma, Iowa, and had worked at Jed’s Construction in the year before his death—details that paint a picture of a teenager with steady work routines and plans cut short.

Family arrangements proceeded quickly: visitation at the family home in Elma was set for June 14, with funeral services at Meadow Run Mennonite Church on June 15 and burial in the adjoining cemetery. No arrests, charges, trials, or convictions have been reported in connection with the incident.

If anyone knew Daryl, was at that hunt, or has information about what happened on June 10, 2017, please share what can help clarify the circumstances.
