It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Mark Howe (b.1953), of Whitby, Ontario, at Lakeridge Health Oshawa on Saturday, July 22nd, after a brief battle with cancer, comforted by his wife and family by his side. He is survived by his wife of 46 years, Barbara, sons Grant (Michelle), Blake (Fabiana), and Kent, and three young grandsons Henry, Aidan, and Landon. Mark was a beloved son to Roy and Pauline Howe (both predeceased) and brother to Paula (Jim), Sandra, and Tony (Wendy).
A kind, supportive, and devoted husband, father, and grandfather, Mark was a pillar of quiet strength who always stood behind his family. He was a dependable and loyal brother and friend who could be counted on to take great care of those he loved. Mark was a well-respected leader with a long and accomplished banking career; however, his greatest joy was time spent with family and close friends. Treasured activities included watching his sons and grandsons at play on the backyard rink, family vacations, Christmas gatherings, golf with friends, and cheering on the Pittsburgh Steelers and Western Mustangs (when they won).
A Celebration of Life will be held at the Oshawa Funeral Home, 847 King Street West, on Friday, August 11, 2023, at 1:30PM.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Toronto Western Hospital Intensive Care Unit. Fond memories and expressions of sympathy may be shared at www.oshawafuneralservices.com for the Howe family.
