Chester Robert "Bob" Martauz Jr.

Chester Robert "Bob" Martauz of Austintown, Ohio, 76,  beloved brother, uncle, and friend, passed away on Monday, September 14, 2026.

Bob was born in Youngstown on May 2, 1950, to Chester and Ada (Lindsay) Martauz and was a lifelong Mahoning Valley resident. He graduated from Chaney High School in 1969 and went on to build a long career as a steelworker with Trinity Industries, where he worked for many years before retiring.

Bob was a caring and friendly person; his favorite pastime was visiting with family. He was an avid golfer, enjoyed spending time at Davidson's Restaurant and Lake Milton, whether it was boating or just relaxing on the dock. Bob also loved tending to his garden each year and was always willing to lend a helping hand to friends and family.

Bob is survived by his brother, Frank Martauz; sister-in-law, Nancy (Michael) Martauz; two nephews, Todd (Amy) Hoover and Philip (Elaina) Martauz; two nieces, Lauren (Maxx) Guerrieri and Samantha (Eric) Sargent; and many great-nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents; two siblings, Linda Hoover and Michael Martauz; and nephew Donald Hoover.

His life was defined by years of steady work, enduring family connections, and the everyday activities he enjoyed most. He will be remembered by those who knew him through the many shared experiences and gatherings. 

No services are planned. A family Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. Interment will take place at Greenhaven Cemetery.
