On May 9, 2022 a fearless and kind father, husband, brother, and friend.
Survived by his loving wife Julie and wonderful daughters Kit and Claire; devoted siblings Bob, Ann, John, Roger, and Faith; and his loyal dog, Hallie.
Born and raised in Cheverly, MD and a graduate of St. John’s College High School, Mark’s adventurous spirit carried him to Notre Dame for college, and then around the world as a Naval Officer. He returned to the DC area for the remainder of his life, where he raised his family and made an incredible impact on the multiple small businesses that he served and led.
Family will receive friends at Joseph Gawler's Sons, 5130 Wisconsin Ave, NW Washington, DC on Tuesday May 24 from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM. A memorial service will be held at noon on Wednesday, May 25, 2022 at Little Flower Church in Bethesda, MD. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the Potomac River Conservancy, to honor where Mark biked, walked, and canoed each weekend.
