Mark Chase

Born in New Bedford, MA a son of the late Donald and Jacqueline (Key) Chase.

Mark was a loving husband, father, and "grampa" who devoted his life to his family.

He grew up in Mattapoisett where his love for life on the water began and he would meet Anne. Anne moved to Mattapoisett to pursue teaching and met Mark while out for a walk. Mark and Anne eventually settled in Cataumet where they raised their two children Abigail and Nathaniel. Mark's love for his family was undeniable and unconditional. He spent countless hours coaching Abigail and Nathaniel in sports, attending games and activities, camping with his family, and of course boating to Bassett's Island. He and Anne most enjoyed their evening "toots" around Bassetts and Friday nights at PBY.

Mark worked for Parker's Boat Yard for over 40 years. Parker's was not only a place of work but a second home for Mark and his family.

Mark never asked for much. He was truly happy when his family was happy. He will be missed by all who knew him.

In addition to his loving wife of 45 years he is survived by his daughter Abigail Tellier and husband Tom, son Nathaniel Chase and wife Amber. He leaves behind his grandchildren; Sophia, Lenna, Sam, Chase and Palmer. Mark also leaves behind sister Gail Brides and husband Brendan, sister Leslie LeCompte and husband Tom, nieces, nephews, many cousins, and many dear friends.

A visitation will be held on Thursday, June 29th from 10:00 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Nickerson-Bourne Funeral Home 40 MacArthur Blvd., Bourne.
