Mark Williams, hailing from Newark, NJ, passed away on 1/21/25. He was a proud supporter of law enforcement and our military and the only person to still think a ponytail was cool since the 1970’s. He still rocked that ponytail until the end like he said he would. He was all business in the front and a party in the back enjoying a nice frosty Bud Heavy on momentous occasions.
Mark was a lover of sports and proudly supported the New York Yankees, Dallas Cowboys, and Boston Bruins. Mark was a coach for youth sports for his kids, including baseball and soccer and was a proud public employee for many years.
Mark was most proud of his children and their accomplishments. He is survived by his children, Mark and Josh and his grandchildren: Grayson, Zayden, Jordan, Delaney, and Margaret, who affectionately knew him as pop pop. Mark’s happiest moments was watching his grandchildren grow up.
His also survived by his forever loved sisters, Debbie and Ronnie and brother Ray and their spouses along with the many nieces and nephews. He joins his sisters, Dolly, Mona, and Patsy in heaven along with the love of his life, Anna and his parents.
You’d always find Mark the Shark (online pool aficionado) with a Marlboro Red, a can of Coca-Cola, and a sugary treat, mainly cold ring dings, listening to Johnny Cash.
Any donations can be sent to Autistic Self Advocacy Network, the ASPCA (cause “in the arms of an angel” gets everyone,especially him), grand kids college funds, or if you’re feeling lucky bet it on black at the casino cause like he said, you can’t take it with you.
Funeral Services are private, in the care of the Armitage & Wiggins Funeral Home.
