Mark was a wonderful husband and devoted father whose favourite moments were the ones he spent with his wife and children.  Mark’s passion for celebrations and all things sweet will live on in them. His most loved spot was at a beach. Summers and many weekends throughout the year were spent at the cottage where he could be close to the sun, surf and sea-life, enjoying time and living to the fullest. Mark worked at the City of Kitchener as a Database Administrator where he was known for his calm demeanor in the face of technical challenges. Mark loved to stay busy and active, spending his recreational time biking and swimming. Many thanks to all his loving friends, family and co-workers, who walked this very hard journey with him. And thanks to all his care providers whose compassion supported him to the end. He was loved to the moon and back and will be deeply missed.
