This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Mark Paul Shak. Mark was born on August 28, 1964 and returned to the Lord on January 15, 2021. We will all remember his strong faith in God and service to others who were on the path to recovery from addiction.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there will be no official services at this time. Please feel free to express your condolences, thoughts, feelings, and stories about Mark here where all will be able to see and enjoy them.
Mark’s journey in this life was an empowering story of redemption. He would be the first to tell others he overcame the most difficult periods through the grace of God. Mark appreciated his Slovak ancestry, the relationships he built growing up in Pennsylvania and South Carolina, and his loving family of siblings, nieces & nephews, and their children. Those closest to Mark enjoyed his witty humor, spiritual insight, and selfless compassion in service of God and others.
Thank you again and please participate in celebrating Mark’s life by leaving a tribute below, including any pictures, video, or music in the Stories or Gallery sections.
