Obituary of T. Mark Capone

T. Mark Capone, 83, passed away peacefully at home on Sunday, June 4, 2017, surrounded by his loving family. He is predeceased by his sons, Timothy James Capone and David Thomas McCue. Mark is survived by the love of his life, Patricia McCue, his children, Cynthia Capone (Scott) Baerman; Judy Capone; Jeannie (Larry) Wood; his brother, Phil (Barb) Capone; six grandchildren; one great granddaughter; and many nieces and nephews. In addition to being an amazing father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend, Mark was a man of real and tested social conscience. His desire to share with those who had much less was genuine, demonstrated by his love of Unity Acres for which he served as a board member and contributor for decades. His care extended to the homeless and sick. Mark was an avid reader of theology and aware of world politics and the Church. His ability to cut throughout difficult problems was apparent by many, both personally and professionally. He had a great sense of humor and during challenging times would be able to bring a smile. Even as his mental & physical health declined he continued to be willing to be of service to the Catholic Workers on Wheels and Unity Acres and would deflect any praise, given to him, unto others. A funeral service will be held on Saturday, June 10, 2017 at 10am at St. Lucy's Church, 432 Gifford St. Calling hours will be held Friday from 4 to 7pm at the Edward J. Ryan and Son Funeral Home, 3180 Bellevue Ave. Burial will be private. In lieu of flowers, consider a donation to Catholic Workers on Wheels, Friends of Dorothy or Unity Acres.
