Anthony Martynowicz Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by DeFiore Funeral & Cremation Service on Mar. 18, 2026.
Anthony Martynowicz, 25, of Marengo, died March 16, 2026.
Anthony was born April 19, 2000. He gradated from Marengo High School and went on to work at TC Industries. He was a metalologist and has been with the company for eleven years.
Anthony not only could light up a room but he was the room. Everyone who ever met Anthony automatically thought of him as their best friend. He had a passion for working out, looking his best and eating clean. "He was immensely talented in everything he put his mind to including cooking, dancing with extra groove, and playing music of all genres deeming himself "big dawg"."
For Anthony his whole world revolved around his family. He was loyal, he was kind and always made time for family. No matter what Anthony always told his family "I love you" every time he would leave, even if it was just running to the store. Anthony was a loving son, brother, grandson, cousin and friend who will be missed by all who knew him. His light will go on and he will always be remembered.
Anthony is survived by his mother, Beth and Bill Rentner, his siblings, Faith Martynowicz and Peter Martynowicz, step sisters, Georgia Rentner, Layla Rentner and nephew, Emmett. He is also survived by his grandparents, Jerry and Pat Darow, and Aunt Tricia Baltzersen and Mark Darow and by many cousins.
