Mark Meredith Obituary
Mark Mitchell Meredith
Mark was born in Vancouver April 8, 1943 and raised on the waterfront in Caulfield, West Vancouver. His life was shaped by a fall from a cliff when he was eight, leaving him unconscious for six weeks and giving him brain damage which left him with challenges throughout his life.
After earning a diploma in business at BCIT, he worked in various capacities around Vancouver including promoting Gastown in the early 1970s.
He decided he wanted a product that he could make, market and sell himself. He moved to Victoria and took up pottery, which he mastered.
Salt Spring Island became his home in 1978. He was very active in promoting the arts and crafts scene on Salt Spring and was involved in making the Market in the Park the success that it is today. He loved making pots and having people come to his studio.
Mark loved talking to people and kept in touch with many he'd known throughout his life. He loved helping others and did so whenever he could.
Mark passed away peacefully February 28, 2026 from complications of Parkinson's. He is survived by his wife Jackie, his sister Leigh, brothers Craig and Drew, nephew Ian, nieces Jill and Alison, stepsons Scot and Ross, and many good and loyal friends.
A celebration of his life will be announced at a later date.
