Horowitz

Cedar Grove chapel-

With deep sorrow, the Horowitz family announces that Martin Horowitz, beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend, passed away peacefully at home on September 26, 2025. He was 79.

Born in Elizabeth, New Jersey, to Edythe and Milton Horowitz, he is survived by his devoted wife of 56 years, Lois, his sons Stephen (Megan) and Joshua (Danielle), and his cherished grandchildren Jacob, Julianna, Madelyn, and Elizabeth. He is also lovingly remembered by his sisters Frances Beinhaker (Gary, deceased), Barbara McKamey (Michael), and Judy Dunst (Jeffrey). Marty was predeceased by his sister Marcia Horowitz Anderson.

Marty proudly served in the New Jersey National Guard and the U.S. Army Reserve, retiring as a First Lieutenant in the 1960s. He graduated from Arnold and Marie College of Pharmacy, part of Long Island University, and went on to enjoy a long and respected career as a pharmacist, serving communities across New Jersey and Florida for more than 40 years.

A man of endless curiosity and creativity, Marty filled his life with learning, laughter, and imagination. He led his sons' scouting and Odyssey of the Mind groups, crafted original wood designs, built intricate model train layouts, and traveled the world with Lois by his side. His dry wit, inventive mind, and ability to find humor in the everyday made him a source of joy and inspiration to those around him. In recent years, he turned his artistic eye toward whimsical ink drawings—often featuring playful balloons and socks—that perfectly reflected his spirit: clever, lighthearted, and one of a kind.

Marty will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him. May his memory be a blessing.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made in Martin's memory to the Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation at
