Died: Sep 10, 2019

Marcus John Maltese, 35 of Hackettstown, passed away suddenly on Tuesday, September 10, 2019 in Lyons, New Jersey.  Marcus graduated from Hackettstown High School in 2001 and enlisted in the United States Air Force in 2006 where he obtained an Associate’s Degree.  Marcus spent 12 years and 4 months in the Air Force where he was stationed in various locations including Germany, South Carolina, Nevada and Delaware.  During his service, Marcus reached the level of Staff Sergeant and received numerous awards and recognitions including Meritorious Service Medal, Air Force Commendation Medal, National Defense Service Medal, and a Global War on Terrorism Service Medal to name a few. 
When not in uniform, Marcus enjoyed hiking, spending time with his family, and cheering on the New York Giants.  For anyone that knew Marcus knew his favorite thing to do was enjoy time with his greatest accomplishments, his three little girls, Julianna, Brynlee, and Adalyn. Marcus had a laugh that was infectious and a sense of humor that was second to none.
