Martin W.

Filon

Martin William Filon passed away at home on August 28, 2026, at the age of 94. He was born on September 30, 1931, in Weehawken, New Jersey, and lived a long life marked by devotion to family, faithful service, and simple, enduring joys.

Mr. Filon was a retired Operations Manager for MP Howlett in Union City, New Jersey. He also served his country with honor as a United States Army veteran of the Korean War, a chapter of his life that reflected the steadiness and commitment that would remain with him throughout the years.

He found happiness in the pleasures that bring people together. Bowling and cooking were among his favorite pastimes, and he especially cherished summers at Lake Wallenpaupack, vacations at Walt Disney World, and the joy of spending Christmas with his family. In 2007, he made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, an experience of deep meaning in a life also shaped by faith. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus, a reflection of his enduring religious commitment and sense of community.

Above all, Martin will be remembered as a family man whose life was enriched by those he loved most. He is survived by his beloved wife, Anne Mikrut; his children, Katherine Filon, William Filon and his wife Yvonne and Mark Filon and his wife Olga; his grandchildren, Laura Yeaw, Kelly Filon, Mark Filon, Sean Filon, and Kevin Kerner; and his great-granddaughters, Elliana, Elizabeth, Roslyn Billie, and Sofia. Their gatherings, holidays, and shared traditions formed the heart of his life, and his presence within the family will be treasured always.

He was preceded in death by his parents, William and Ida Filon, whose memory remained part of the foundation of his life.
