Dr. Mark Wesley Foreman

Dr. Mark W. Foreman, 67, of Lynchburg, passed away on Friday, June 17, 2022 at his residence. Born on December 18, 1954 in Lancaster, CA, he was the son of the late Donald E. Foreman and Carol A. Foreman. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brothers Scott Foreman, Paul Foreman and Patrick “Flip” Foreman. A man of many accomplishments, Mark was a well-known Professor of Philosophy with Liberty University for over 33 years. Mark earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Music at Westminster Choir College which was an achievement very near and dear to his heart. Another proud milestone was earning his PhD from the University of Virginia. Mark was extremely active in community theatre, having appeared in or directed over 50 productions. He was associated with Lynchburg Fine Arts Center, Cherry Tree Players, Little Town Players, Commerce Street Theater, Wolfbane Productions, Renaissance Theatre, and Endstation Theater. He was also an accomplished author and published four books. However, among all of these accomplishments, his most prized titles were Husband, Dad, and Grandpa. Mark was completely devoted to his wife and children and cherished the time they spent together, especially during their many travels nationally and internationally (always including a Disney trip!). He loved spending time with his girls. He is survived by his loving wife of 43 years, Christine C. Foreman; daughters Erin Foreman, Lindsay Leonard (Steven), Kelly Croucher (Jordan); grandchildren Cole, Isaac, Thomas, Penelope, and Joey; brothers David (Sandra), Michael (Louise), Dana (Lisa) and Stuart (Phyllis). A funeral mass will be conducted on Saturday, June 25, 2022 at 11:00 a.m. at Holy Cross Catholic Church with Father Salvador F. Añonuevo officiating. Interment will follow at Virginia Memorial Park. The family will receive friends on Friday, June 24 from 6:00-8:00 p.m. at Whitten Timberlake Chapel. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial contributions be made in Mark’s name to Little Town Players, 931 Ashland Ave, Bedford VA, 24523 or Commerce Street Theater, 1022 Commerce Street, Lynchburg, VA, 24504.
