Marcus Eti Aleaga, 44, of Owensboro passed away on January 11, 2025. Marcus was born on November 6, 1980, in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Etinapolo Aleaga and the late Sonya Ann Dyess.
Marcus lived a life full of joy, laughter, and adventure. He was known for his infectious personality and his ability to light up any room with his presence. Whether he was strumming his guitar, sharing his latest grilling masterpiece, or telling a joke, he was truly the life of the party. An avid lover of fishing, Marcus could often be found by the water, casting his line and enjoying the peace and serenity that came with it. Music was another great passion, and he spent countless hours listening to his favorite music, often playing his guitar in the company of close friends and family.
Those left to cherish his memory include his children, Owen Clay Eti Aleaga, Ethan Michael Bartos-Aleaga and Erica Grace Bartos-Aleaga; his granddaughter, Millie Jo Bartos; his sister and brother, Torie Ann Alani Greer- Aleaga and Shannon James Baker; numerous nieces and nephews, including Brandon Greer, Nathan Greer, Ella Greer; and the mother of his children, Tabitha Sue Bartos.
