Mark Newman Obituary
The Newman/Noble-Newman family is heartbroken. Our beautiful husband & father, Mark Newman died unexpectedly from a heart attack on 11/20/17. Mark was at home when he died, with Karen, his wife of 38 years by his side, along with his beloved dogs, Bear & Roscoe.
Mark was larger than life, a tall handsome man with a big personality & generous spirit. His pride & joy were his daughters Lindsey, Shelley, & Melissa & his grandson Benny. Mark's love for his family & friends was fierce, unconditional, effusive, & all encompassing. He was a retired electrician, a guitar player, photographer, avid reader, soccer fan and the life of every party. He loved music, especially the Band & Bob Dylan and could make a mean martini.
Mark was born on 3/11/48 in NYC to Ruth and Barnet Newman and grew up in Brooklyn. He is survived by his wife Karen Noble-Newman, his daughters Melissa Newman, Shelley Newman, Lindsey Newman (Steven Markowski), grandson Benjamin Markowski, brother William Newman (Marylu Horkowitz), his father in law David Noble, Karen's large extended family, and the many young people that he befriended and loved.
Raise a glass to Mark & give generously to those you love. To honor Mark please give to any charitable organization that is meaningful to you. Share the love.
A celebration of Mark's life will be held on Thursday, 11/30 at
2:00 pm at the Lake Forest Park Civic Club, 17301 Beach Dr NE, Lake Forest Park, WA 98155.

I just found out about Mark's passing today - and am at a loss for words, he was such a great person, full of life and such a positive person.
I remember working with Mark and Karen when I was just starting out in my real estate career and they took a chance in hiring me as a young 25 year old rookie agent - And I really appreciated the opportunity that I was given at the time - as well as getting to know Mark on a more personal level.
To Karen and all of Mark's family - I am so sorry for your loss.

I worked for Mark About 20 years ago.
I remember thinking on my first Day, what Have I gotten myself into? But there was new supervisor strumming a his guitar at his desk. He was refurbishing it at the time and I thought to myself cool, I can work for this Guy. Mark's passion was also shared with us that worked for him because no matter how difficult and dangerous the job was. We knew that Mark had our Backs and that he would do what ever it took to keep us safe. I was saddened when I heard of marks passing and I am sending mark and his Family payers and positive thoughts.

I will remember you Mark with profound respect. I'll never forget the warmth and respect you showed me.

To find the core of why Mark was so loved, you need look no further than his beautiful family. Mark was profoundly brave as he explored his love of music and his passion for the guitar. The enjoyment he'd get from playing and singing for his guests at celebrations in his home was indicative of his love for life. However, even though I didn't have the good fortune to know him for long, I could tell that it was his family and his deep love for them that was his driving force. So as you grieve his loss, it is to his wonderful wife Karen, and daughters Mellissa, Shelley, Lindsey and her husband Steven, and beautiful boy Benjamin, that you
celebrate the blessing that Mark's spirit will live forever in you all, and that's a wonderful thing!!
Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss,
