Mark was known for his kind heart, generosity, sense of humor and unwavering dedication to his family, friends and career. Friendship meant everything to Mark – he made a lasting effort to stay connected with those he loved. Even after moving away, he remained close with lifelong friends from Pittsburgh, always making time for them during visits home, just as they always made time for him.
Mark graduated from Churchill High School in 1987 and went on to attend Penn State Behrend in Erie, where he was a proud member of the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity. In January 1997, he made Phoenix his home, where he built both his life and career. He began working at District Medical Group in September of 2000 and served as a dedicated and respected Controller. As a certified public accountant, Mark was known for his professionalism, integrity and strong work ethic. Beyond his professional accomplishments, he gave back to his community as Treasurer for the FC Batavia Soccer Club since 2019, supporting youth sports with the same dedication he showed in all aspects of his life.
A passionate sports fan, Mark remained loyal to his Pittsburgh roots. He was a devoted supporter of the Pirates, Steelers and Penguins, and could often be found cheering them on at his favorite local Steelers bar. Though he called Arizona his home for nearly 30 years, his allegiance to his hometown teams never wavered,
Mark will be deeply missed by his family, friends and all who had the privilege of knowing him. His memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved him.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, May 2nd, at 12 noon, at the Grand View Golf Club, 1000 Clubhouse Drive, North Braddock, PA 15104.
Mark will be forever remembered and forever loved.
