Pittstown- Martin William "Marty" Harrington, II, aged 63, passed away unexpectedly at his home on Friday, January 31, 2025. Born in 1961, Marty was a man of many passions. He enlisted in the Marines in 1980, serving on active duty until 1984 and in the reserves until 1986. His time in the military shaped him into a person of strength and resilience, traits that defined his life long after his service. After his honorable discharge from the marines, he became a proud member of the AmVets of Nassau, NY and the Marine Corps League of Troy, NY. Marty then went on to build a successful career in the drilling industry, and became very knowledgeable of the trade. At age 50, Marty pursued his bachelors degree from ITT Technical Institute and graduated with high honors, of which both he and his family were extremely proud. He used this degree to further his career in the well drilling industry and became a salesman for TJM drill tools, where he traveled throughout the northeast, the country, and the world, educating others in the trade. His love for adventure and exploration extended beyond his career; Marty was known for his storytelling, always captivating friends and family with tales from his travels and life experiences. He had a keen sense of humor, and was able to light up a room with his witty remarks.

Marty was predeceased by his parents, Martin William Harrington and Rose Turner, and his older sister, Beatrice Murdick.

He leaves behind his loving wife, Michele Peters; his son, Sean Harrington; his daughter, Sierra (Jeffrey) Case; his granddaughter, Olive Case; and his siblings, Anthony Harrington and Mary Anne Harrington.
