With great sadness, we announce the passing of Mark A. Sparks, age 63, on July 9, 2020. Mark was a beloved husband to Jean (nee Mazzucco); father to Jennifer Boucher (Chris) and Kaitlyn Kubec (Mike); and grandfather "Pop" to 3 beautiful girls: Bella (11), Dawson (5), and Addy (21 months). Mark passed away peacefully at home with his wife and good friend by his side after a four month battle with cancer. Mark was a 1975 graduate of North Olmsted High School, where he met Jean, his wife of 39 years. Mark earned his degree at West Virginia Tech and worked at TAP Packaging Solutions as a business development manager. Mark was the definition of a hard worker. While he took a lot of pride in his job, he enjoyed sports, long stories, and being anywhere with water and marine life. He was an incredible provider to his family, a reliable and supportive friend, and always helpful to others. He will be missed by so many and we are blessed to have so many memories of him forever in our hearts. Friends may call at CHAMBERS FUNERAL HOME of NORTH OLMSTED, 29150 LORAIN RD.
