I added this person after a visit of my family cemetery a few years back and can not connect him. Any help or suggestions would be awesome.

What cemetery?  Where? Would the cemetery know or are you able to get a death certificate?
Lynn, the cemetery is named on the linked profile.

Pam, there are 29 other people with last name Martin buried in that cemetery.  Can you identify any of them whose graves are located close to Walter's and might be his parents?  It's probably impossible to find any information on Walter, since records that recent are not likely to be published yet.
I was hoping to hear from the poster with more information. Obituaries may be posted.
No I haven't figured out who the parents ar yet. I am thinking they are probably still living.

He was born March 7, 1938 died July 30, 1965.

Name: Walter W Martin
Date of Birth: 7 Mar 1938
Birth Place: Boyd, Kentucky, USA
Mother's Name: Hazel Worley
Volume Number: 032

Volume Year: 1938

I found an obit for a Walter P Martin whose son Walter W Martin is mentioned along with a few other family members. I can email it to you Wiki won't let me attach a file.

That would be awesome. I just spoke with a cousin who said the marker isn’t at the cemetery now....where did it go?! I didn’t come up with a name and date out of thin air! 

I can add the obit to the profile or email you.

I think you may be confusing two different Walter Martins. The one who was born in March 1938 appeared to still be alive in 1989 (when his father, Walter Peek Martin, died). He was living in Ohio at that time.
Now I’m even more confused.
Please email it to me.
Pam, Please pm with your email. I can send you the obit.
