Marco A. Garzon

Born on May 8,1972, Marco Antonio Garzon was the son of Jose Garzon and Ruth Garzon and grew up in
Chicago, Ukrainian Village. He attended Holy Name Cathedral High School where he excelled
academically and formed lifelong friendships. 
Marco had a passion for grilling, playing poker and travelling. He always looked to help others whenever
and however he could…all of which brought him immense joy throughout his life. 
Professionally, Marco had a successful career at Metra where he made significant contributions and
earned the respect of his colleagues. (LOL) Well at least some. You knew he cared for you—if he fed you,
or let you eat at his table. He will be remembered for his professionalism, integrity, unwavering work
ethic, his love for food and sarcastic wit.
Above all else, Marco cherished his family and friends. He was a loving partner, stepfather, fur dad,
grandpa, brother, uncle, son, cousin, and friend, always ready to offer support, guidance, and a listening
ear. His presence will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. 
Marco is survived by his family members, spouse (Jessica), stepdaughter (Analyss), grandson (Emiliano),
fur babies (Coco & Lola), siblings (Joe, David, Angelique and Anthony Garzon), nieces and nephews
(Anna, JJ and Aaliyah) as well as numerous relatives and friends who will continue to honor his memory
with love and affection. 
A memorial service to celebrate the life of Marco Antonio Garzon will be held on Saturday February 24,
2024, 3-9pm, at Salerno’s Rosedale Chapels.
Donations may be made to Angelique Garzon (773-656-0806) in memory of Marco Garzon. 
WATCH OUT FOR THEM GARZONS 
Rest in peace Fat Boy. You will forever remain in our hearts.
