Anthony R. DeMarco 1961-2025
HUBBARD — It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Anthony Robert DeMarco, beloved husband, devoted father, proud grandfather, loving uncle and cherished friend. He departed this life surrounded by the love of his family on Sunday, Sept. 21, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of warmth, generosity and unwavering dedication.
Anthony was born Feb. 6, 1961, in Youngstown, a son of Edward and Betty Graham DeMarco.
He was a 1979 graduate of Wilson High School.
Born to lead and care, Anthony served as a general manager at Graham Stamping with pride and integrity, earning the respect of colleagues and peers alike. When he wasn’t guiding his team, he found joy in life’s simpler pleasures — casting a fishing line at dawn, setting up camp beneath starry skies, relaxing by the pool in the warm summer weather or enjoying a relaxing round of golf with friends.
His family was his anchor. He relished Sunday spaghetti dinners at his mother’s home, family vacations filled with laughter, and every moment shared with his wife, children and treasured granddaughter. His children knew him as a teacher and a role model, someone who instilled the values of dedication and kindness through example and love.
Anthony was a familiar face at his children’s activities and a tireless volunteer in his community, always lending a helping hand where it was needed. His joyful spirit was also reflected in his bond with the family dog, who was a constant companion and source of comfort.
He will be sadly missed and remembered for his warm heart, steady guidance and the unforgettable impact he made on everyone fortunate enough to know him.
Anthony is survived by his wife, Judy DeMarco; son, Adam DeMarco; daughter, Sydney (Jacob) Bukovina; granddaughter, Michaela Bukovina; his mother, Betty DeMarco; his brother, Edward (Jan) DeMarco; his sisters, Roan Craig, Lori (Bob) Ficorilli, Jean (Frank) Sotlar, Nancy (Michael) Swiatkwich and Valarie (Jeff) Jones; along with numerous loving nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his father, Edward DeMarco.
There will be a memorial Mass of Christian Burial 11 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 1, 2025, at St. Patrick Roman Catholic Church, with calling hours 10 to 11 a.m.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in Anthony’s memory to the Animal Welfare League of Trumbull County, P.O. Box 66, Vienna, OH 44473; or Hospice of the Valley, 979 Tibbetts Wick Road, Girard, OH 44420.
