MARK ANTHONY SAGNESS

October 9, 1953 - May7, 2021

With Heavy hearts his family is deeply saddened to announce that Mark passed away at the age of 67.

 

Mark spent most of his working years as a Printing Press Operator, which took him to train staff in Chile. When he wasn't working, he enjoyed spending time outdoors with the wood stove on, entertaining family and friends in the cook house. Mark enjoyed in his free time, spending endless hours making his own sausage in his very own smokers.

 

Mark made memorable memories travelling with his wife Marilyn to Jamaica, Puerto Vallarta Mexico, enjoying a cold Pacifico on the beach

 

Left to cherish his memories are his wife of 24 years, Marilyn; daughters, Tanya and Shannon; step-sons Jason Auger (Michelle); Wesley Auger (Ally Auger); step-daughters, Michelle Auger and Cassie Birss (Terrance Birss); grandchildren, Lucas, Brittany, Savannah, Aryannah, and Skyler; brother Danny; and many nieces, nephews, family, and friends. He was predeceased by his parents, Leslie and Margaret; infant sister Linda; and brothers, Greg and Earl.

 

In keeping with his wishes, cremation has taken place. A private celebration of Mark’s life will be held when it is possible to gather. In the meantime, Mark’s family kindly requests that his friends and relatives take a few minutes to honour his memory by watching the photo-biography above. Please, also consider sharing your own photos and/or sharing your own memories and stories using the comment section on this page.

He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

Missed beyond measure. Best neighbour I could’ve asked for as well. I’m so grateful for the fun sense of humour he had & the support he (you both) gave me through the years. Love you much

I will always remember Mark and how he made us laugh when we were kids, stealing our socks to make sock puppets and joking around with us. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. Sending love to the whole family ❤️

What a wonderful tribute, all of those smiles and good time photo’s show a person who loved life and always tried to give more than he received.  Marilyn you found a great life partner, and he is not gone, he will live forever in your heart and the memories made.

Worked with Mark in the 70's till late 80's. He was always happy and loved to get together to play our guitar s and sing. He always had his smoker going, making his own special blend of Garlic rings. If you needed anything made of wood he could build it. Miss those days, he was always a lot of fun. Rest in peace old friend. Condolences to his family  Kent Drury
