SMITH, Mark Edward Smith

Passed away peacefully on August 18th, 2025, at the age of 65 years with his loving partner Maryann Cleary by his side. Mark was born on September 7th, 1959, in Petrolia, Ontario. He was predeceased by his father Glenn Edward Smith, his mother Irene Marylin Clark and his brother Walter Lyle Smith. Mark is survived by his children Wendy (Gary) Tribiger and Michelle (Garrett) Lee. Proud grandpa to Lee, Diamond, Jade and Walker. Mark grew up in Petrolia, Ontario, and when he left home for work he ventured west to Regina, Saskatchewan. Mark joined UA Local 179 and enjoyed many years working in various areas of Canada as a Welder and Pipefitter. His UA Local 179 brothers and sisters will always be known as his extended family. Mark’s door was always open to anyone passing through town or needing a place to stay. He would help anyone in need and made friends wherever he went. Mark was best known for his one-of-a-kind laugh, some would even say it was contagious, that put a smile on everyone’s face. A Celebration of Life for Mark will be held at a later date. If friends so desire, donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or a charity of your choice in Mark’s name -or, just raise a glass at your local pub.
