Mark Chasin

Dr. Mark Chasin, 73. On January 22, 2016 of Monroe, NJ, formerly of Manalapan, NJ. Pre-deceased by his wife Rena in 2003, now beloved husband to Reva Stern-Chasin, amazing father to Jeff (Lisa) Chasin, Larry (Andrea) Chasin, and Marni (Lee) Garfinkle and adored grandfather of Shelby Chasin, Samara Chasin, Jake Garfinkle, Jack Chasin, William Chasin and Ryan Garfinkle.

Mark grew up in Merrick, NY, graduated from Cornell University (B.S.) and Michigan State (PhD) and dedicated his life to researching and developing new medicines, treatments and drug delivery methods, particularly in the area of pain management. A brilliant scientist, he held hundreds of patents, including pain medications used by millions, and a wafer-like cancer regrowth inhibitor for the brain used world-wide.

Beneath his brilliant career, he was a humble, modest, loving father, husband, and grandfather. His dry wit, huge smile, and big hugs will forever be missed.

Funeral services will be held at 10:30 on Jan. 25th at Bernheim-Apter-Kreitzman Suburban Funeral Chapel in Livingston, NJ followed by Beth David Cemetery in Elmont, NY.

Our world is forever changed.
