Long time CalAPA member, husband, father, friend and associate passes unexpectedly

Kenneth (Kenny) Martindale sadly passed away on March 14, 2023, and will be sorely missed by his family, friends, and business associates. Martindale was a devoted husband, father, and inspirational force in the asphalt construction industry. He married his high school sweetheart, Lynn, in 1986, and together the couple raised three children Lauren, Kathryn and Chadwick. They also have five grandchildren.

Martindale began his career in the asphalt industry right out of high school when he was hired as a dispatcher for Industrial Asphalt at their Sun Valley Plant in the late 1980s. Eventually working his way up to division manager, Martindale spearheaded the oil spreading and Petromat paving fabric segment for Industrial Asphalt. Then, in 1992, Kenny decided to start his own coating and sealing product company, Diversified Asphalt Products. From his headquarters in Anaheim, Martindale built upon his knowledge and expertise to continue to pioneer and lead the way in the sealing and fabric industry in Southern California. He quickly earned a reputation for producing and delivering only the highest quality products, backed by unprecedented service and support.
