Anthony J. Marrazzo Jr. Obituary
Of West Newton, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday morning, June 30, 2024 in his home after years of heart-related health issues, just shy of his 42nd birthday. Anthony was born with a genetic disorder caused by a small deletion of chromosome 22q which resulted in multiple health issues that progressed with age.
Although he endured chronic pain most of his adult life, that didn't stop Anthony from enjoying the simple pleasures, including watching movies, his favorite television shows, and especially Bruins games with his dad and others who would stop by. He loved cooking for his family and friends, including his famous pasta and meatballs, and was always happy enjoying a great meal with them.
Anthony's passion was growing and cultivating "the herb" and sharing his bounty with those closest to him. He was a kind and loving son, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin, and friend to many, with a great sense of humor who always tried to make others laugh and smile.
He is survived by his beloved parents, Anthony J. "Toot" and Jeanne (Greco) Marrazzo of West Newton; his devoted & loving sister & brother, Jeanine Figueroa and her husband Sean of West Newton and James "Jamie" Marrazzo of Marlborough; as well as his cherished nephews Luke, Alex and Jacob. He is also survived by many aunts, uncles, cousins, and extended family and shared a special relationship with his Aunt Cheryl (mom #2) Greco.
Those who wish to pay their respects to Anthony and his family can do so in the Mary Catherine Chapel of Brasco & Sons Memorial, 773 Moody Street, Waltham, on Wednesday, July 17th from 10:00 am to 12 pm noon. Parking attendants will be on duty.

Burial will follow at the Calvary Cemetery in Waltham.
