Pete Maratos, 67, of Poplar Grove, IL, passed away on January 9, 2022, after a long & valiant battle with cancer. Pete was born in Kefalonia, Greece on July 21, 1954. Pete was raised in Greece until the age of 13. He immigrated to the USA & grew up in the Chicago, IL area where he became an entrepreneur, owning several restaurants throughout the years, until he settled in the Rockford region. Pete was most successful opening several Pete’s Tom & Jerry’s restaurants from 1999-2019, which he then sold in 2019 to battle his cancer diagnoses. Pete was most passionate about the food service industry, traveling, & different cultures. Pete was a man of many stories that everyone enjoyed listening to. He was a force of nature, determined to provide for his family & give them the life they deserved. His family meant more to him than anything else in the world, something he proudly & often mentioned. Pete is survived by his wife of 37 years, Jeanette Maratos; & also leaves behind his five children, Tina (John) Ackman, Efrosini (Logan) Ridge, Gerri (Thomas) Pavone, Makie (Kari) Maratos, Jacob (Maddie) Maratos; mother, Efrosini Maratos; siblings, Regina (Dino) Gavrielatos, Nicole (Tony) Perry; granddaughters, Demi, Deanna, Miranda, Zoe, Makayla, Maryssa, Brittany, Bailey; & grandsons, Matthew, Bryce, Gavin, Hudson, Holden, Taki, David; eleven great-grandchildren; mother-in-law, Roma Oates; siblings-in-law, Terry (Melissa) Oates, Rick (Eliete) Oates, Debbie (Randy) Etzler.
