Mark George Remick, 94, of McKeesport,passed away peacefully Friday, August 29, 2025 at Grandview Estates of Elizabeth.

Upon completion of his military service, he would go on to work for Union Railroad for over 44 years, retiring as a foreman. After retirement from the railroad, he worked as a handyman for over 20 years. All of his life, if something was broke, he could fix it. Mark was a member of the former St. Pius Church in McKeesport, alongside his wife. Mark was a very curious man and questioned everything, even the existence of God. In his final days, Mark made the valuable and redeeming decision to accept Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. Mark had the gift of gab. He was member of the 11th Ward Club in McKeesport and also spent much time at local coffee shops, most notably Di's Kornerstone Diner and McDonalds, telling his stories and talking to friends. He was well known at The Rivers and Meadows Casino as well. He was well loved at The Grandview Estates of Elizabeth during his time there.
