Mark Ruch passed away peacefully, at home, surrounded by his loved ones on November 4, 2026.  He was 73.

He was a loving, kind husband to Cheryl, father to Steven (LIsa), grandfather to Carter and Greyson and brother to Adele (Bob), Maureen (Tony), John, Stephen and Gary.

Mark was very involved in his church throughout his life – St.Paul’s Lutheran Church.  He loved to travel the world with his family and share stories about the places he had been.  His favorite past time recently was watching his grandchildren play as it brought him such joy.

We would like to thank Dr. Erin Smith (family physician), the Palliative Care Doctors Rio Group – Dr. Tuck, Dr. Burns, Dr. Tissera, Dr. Zakhem, PSW’s and nurses from Bayshore Homecare Solutions for taking such excellent care of Mark.

A private service is planned with the family.
