Obituary of Mark Patrick Macera

Surrounded by his loving family, on Monday, August 19, 2019, Mark Patrick Macera, of London, Ontario, succumbed to cancer at the age of 71. Mark is survived by his wife Kathy of 50 years. Theirs was a love at first sight! Mark is also survived by his daughter Mary Jane, of London; his son Mark (Andrea), of New Market, Maryland; his daughter Ann Marie (Steve), of Fairfield, Connecticut; his brother John (Nancy), of Ottawa; and his grandchildren: Alexii, Christian, Addison, Mason, Zachary, Max, Ava, Sebastian and Izzy. Mark was a true family man. His favourite times were with his family playing cards, cooking, swimming by the pool and having a beer. He was a truly selfless person, always volunteering to help his family and friends. He enjoyed golfing and playing poker with his buddies and could always be counted on for a good laugh. In his early years, Mark was a competitive hockey player, known for his killer slap shot, record penalty minutes and beer drinking! He was an avid golfer, still in search of the correct putter. Mark loved to watch hockey and golf, and would never miss a Toronto Blue Jays game. He will be truly missed by all who knew him. A Celebration of Mark’s life will be held from 2:00 to 6:00 p.m. at Mark and Kathy’s home on Sunday, August 25, 2019. In lieu of flowers, those wishing to make a donation in memory of Mark are asked to consider the London Health Sciences Centre - Baker Centre for Pancreatic Cancer.
