DOMRES, MARTIN (Marty) FRANCIS - It is with deep sadness we announce Marty passed away peacefully on October 13, 2025, at the age of 78.

A long-time resident of Baltimore, Marty Domres was born April 17, 1947, in Ithaca, New York. While very young the family moved to Syracuse, NY where he attended Christian Brothers Academy, playing football, basketball, and baseball- launching his lifelong love of sports. While Marty had college football scholarship offers, he chose to attend Columbia University where he set 15 Columbia records and 2 national records for passing and total offense. He was selected first team all Ivy League quarterback and inducted into the Columbia University Sports Hall of Fame. In the 1969 NFL draft, San Diego Chargers made him their first pick, ninth pick overall in the first round. In 1972 the Colts brought Marty in to replace Johnny Unitas in Baltimore and in 1976 he left for the San Francisco 49ers, then to the Jets in 1977 before retiring football in 1978.

It was Baltimore that Marty would forever call his home and where he went on to build a long and successful career in finance. Fiercely competitive with a wonderful sense of humor and wit, Marty loved football, golf and finance. He is survived by his loving wife Cheryl Domres, devoted step-son Christian Cummings, and his sisters Cindy Domres, Barbara Rehberg, and Nancy Flattery.

There will be a memorial service held at: St Joseph Parish, 100 Church Lane, Cockeysville, MD on Thursday, October 30, 2025 at 11 AM.
