He was predeceased by his father, Martin Ceresnik, and his father-in-law, James O’Keefe.

He was an avid sports fan and he was proud to coach his children in various sports. Marty had many hobbies. He especially loved skiing, fishing, baseball, and golf; however, he was happiest when playing with Marty and Jenny.

"This sudden loss has hit us all very hard. Most of all our thoughts are with Marty's wife and two young children. Marty Ceresnik's life cannot be measured in years because he was taken way too soon. His impact on all of our lives is the true measure of his legacy. If you measure Marty’s life in the love he gave then he would have been a thousand years old. His life touched so many people and we need all of you to give as he did," said his friend Joe Mele. "I will miss you Marty, you were the life of the party and our friendship was truly a gift that I will celebrate for the rest of my life."
