Mark passed away peacefully on Tuesday, September 3, 2024, at Joseph Brant Hospital, at the age of 66.

He is survived by his daughter Megan; his puppy Millie; Megan’s mother Dona; Megan’s partner Matthew; and Mark's brothers Scott (Dawn), John, Craig (Joanne), and Bill (Lauren). Mark was predeceased by his parents; his older sister Lynn; his older brothers Bob and Tommy; and his sister-in-law Mary Anne and Jane.

Known for his warm heart and sense of humor, he took immense joy in the simple pleasures of life. His love for chocolate milk was matched only by his affection for his faithful companion Millie.

He treasured every moment spent with his daughter and her partner Matthew and found great joy in the company of his friends and brothers during lively poker games. These moments of connection and laughter were the highlights of his life, and he will be fondly remembered for his generosity, kindness, and the deep love he had for those around him.
