Andrew A. Marini

Andrew A. Marini was called to home at the age of 45, on February 1, 2023 and is now looking down upon us. The world has lost an amazing husband, father, son, and brother. He is survived by his beautiful son, Maximus (The Golden Child); stepchildren, guitar virtuoso Finnegan, and his precious little Madelyn; soulmate and forever loving wife, Carrie, nee Vahl; twin brother and best friend, Alexander; number one sister-in-law, Samantha; his fierce niece, Eva; beautiful and self-less mother, Julie Benge; his dazzling aunt, Joy Benge; his brilliant uncles, John Benge and Don Castelli. Andrew was born in Caracas, Venezuela and relocated with his brother and mother to the mean streets of Rockford, Illinois. He attended NMNA Prep in Lake Geneva, WI where he formed lifelong friendships. After high school he matriculated to Lynn University in FL, where he obtained a bachelor’s degree in finance and a love for golf and the finer things in life. After graduation Andrew, his brother, Alex, and best friend, Matt Bowman, conquered the bar world with Manhattan's where they left their mark on the Chicago bar scene becoming one of the most successful and still talked about places to this day. Andrew worked in the options market and loved music, traveling, sports, the arts, creating the best spontaneous adventures, and a great '80s movie. He was the most fiercely loyal person that a friend and brother could ever ask for. But above all else he was the most loving husband and father that anyone could ask for. To have known him was to love him. His personality outshone the moon, the stars, and the sun. If you threw a party, invited everyone you knew, you would see the biggest gift would be from me and the card attached would say thank you for being a friend "Golden Girls". We LOVE you so much, Andrew, and you'll forever be in the hearts of everyone you ever met. Private family services will be held.
