Mark Reilly Jr.

He is survived by his mother Victoria J. McDonald, stepfather Jim and stepsister Jill Cope, as well as his father Mark Reilly Sr. and wife Rose. Mark Jr. is also survived by his older sister Elizabeth Jagunic, her husband Matthew, and their children Claire and Ryan. His many aunts, uncles and cousins mourn his passing.

Mark attended Westside High School where he excelled in the classroom and on the sports field. He graduated from the University of Texas-Austin in 2013 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering.

Mark will be remembered as a kind and loyal friend. A tender heart taken too soon. Mark was an organ donor who touched others through LifeGift. Our greatest comfort is knowing his gentle heart still beats in this world.

Mark liked the Irish blessing, "May your neighbors respect you, trouble neglect you, angels protect you, and Heaven accept you."

It has.

John 14: 1-4

1. Do not let you hearts be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me. 2. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4. You know the way to the place where I am going.
