Tribute

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Mark Augustine Bullock on February 22,2025. Mark was a beloved husband, son, brother, uncle and friend whose warmth and kindness touched all who knew him.

Mark had a deep appreciation for nature, adventure, and creativity. He loved hiking, running, swimming, and, over the years, cruising to new destinations. An artist at heart, he found joy in carving, sketching, playing guitar, and songwriting.

In the 1970s, Mark traveled south to pursue his love of sports and education, playing baseball and soccer while earning a Bachelor of Science degree from Eastern New Mexico University. Upon returning to Abbotsford, he worked as a program director for MSA Cable, where fate led him to the love of his life, Sue English, on a blind date. Their connection was instant, and they built a beautiful life together, celebrating 42 years of marriage.

Mark dedicated 30 years to the Federal Government as an IT specialist, bringing his intelligence and problem-solving skills to his work. However, his greatest passion was always his family. He was a gentle, kind, and generous soul who cared deeply for those around him, as well as for nature and the world as a whole.

Mark is survived by his devoted wife, Sue; his mother, Alice; and his brothers, Steve and Peter; and nephew, Aiden. He was predeceased by his brother Paul and will always be remembered fondly by all of Sue’s family and those whose lives he touched.

Mark’s  spirit will live on in the beauty of the natural world he cherished and in the hearts of those who loved him. A family service will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his memory to the Parkinson’s Society of BC ( https://parkinson.bc.ca/ways-to-give/give-in-honour-in-memory ) or a Canadian nature conservation organization of your choice.
