Mark Andrew Skinner
February 05, 1969 – February 12, 2019
Skinner, Mark Andrew
Age 50, of Dartmouth, quietly passed away the morning of February 12, 2019 in Dartmouth General Hospital. Born in Halifax on February 5, 1969, Mark was the son of Robert and Murdena (MacRae) Skinner. Besides his parents, Mark is survived by his siblings – Linda (Tony) Murphy, Robert, Ian (Terri), Valerie (John) Mombourquette, Gregory, David, Darrell (Karen), and Rev. Dr. Dale (Rev. Maryann), as well as many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and one great-nephew. He will also be missed by his long-time friend Wayne Meagher. Mark was predeceased by his brother, Steven.
Mark was a quiet and gentle soul. Growing up, he was a member of the Dartmouth Pipe & Drum Band and was an avid fan of the Maple Leafs and the Blue Jays, not wanting to miss any games. Many happy memories were created every summer at the family cottage along the Bras d’Or Lakes in West Bay, Cape Breton. There with his brothers and sisters, he enjoyed fishing for cod, outings to the beach at Marble Mountain, climbing trees and making hay.
After high school graduation, Mark took cooking classes and worked for in that field for a period of time. He loved to cook and showed it off, feeding our crowd with his famous “mac and cheese” meals.
Cremation has taken place. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to Dartmouth Funeral Home. On Tuesday February 26, 2019, visitation will take place from 3-4pm, followed by a memorial service and celebration of Mark’s life at 4pm, at the Dartmouth Funeral Home, with Mark’s brother, Dr. Rev. Dale Skinner officiating. Interment at a later date. Special thanks to the doctors, nurses and staff of 4 East, Dartmouth General Hospital and their Palliative Care Unit, for their caring and compassion in Mark’s last days.
Family flowers only. Donations in Mark’s memory may be made to the Cancer Research Society or The Dartmouth General Hospital.
