MARK STEPHEN WESELUCK

It is with the deepest sorrow that we announce the death of Mark Stephen Weseluck, on June 30, 2025, after a short but virulent illness. Mark died peacefully, with his wife and daughter by his side. Mark was an exceptional human being. He was a man of great intellect, with a kind, loving heart, a great sense of humour, a lover of art, music, comedy and literature, and a passionate environmentalist. But what brought Mark the most joy in life was being surrounded by his loving family. His daughter, Lauren, was his greatest pride and joy, and she has thankfully inherited so many of Mark's wonderful qualities. He adored his wife, Nada, as much in his final days as he did when they were married 32 years ago. As a family who loved culture and travel, they explored the world together and Mark often said he was blessed to have lived such a rich and meaningful life filled with so many great experiences. Although Mark died far too soon, he lived his life with no regrets. Mark was a loving son and brother, who adored his mother, Nina, and sister, Cathy, and was delighted to share time with them and be supportive and helpful whenever needed. He always carried with him heartfelt memories of his father, Conn, who the family lost far too soon in 1981. He was also blessed with many cousins both on the Soknacki and Jones side of the family, with whom he held deep and treasured relationships. Mark had a hugely successful career in the financial sector, but remained modest and reticent to speak of his many achievements. It speaks strongly to his his character that he forged many deep friendships with his work colleagues at the Canadian Bankers Association, the Canadian Depository for Securities, and at RBC. He also had close bonds with his childhood friends from school and continued to nurture those relationships through the decades. Likewise, the friendships he made in university have endured and grown into familial ties. Mark was greatly loved and respected by so many. Mark received exceptional care at Credit Valley Hospital and wished to acknowledge his great team of doctors, including Dr. Strevel, Dr. Daniel, Dr. Lopiccolo, and Dr. Salvo. Special thanks also to nurses Sam, Lexi, and Claire at CVH, and also nurse Amanpreet of the Integrated Palliative Care program who cared for Mark so wonderfully while he was at home. A Celebration of Life will be held for Mark on Friday, July 18th, at 2:00 p.m., at the Boulevard Club, 1491 Lake Shore Blvd. W. In lieu of flowers, Mark has asked that you make an effort to lighten your footprint on the environment. If you so wish, donations in Mark's memory may be directed to either Environmental Defence or to Credit Valley Hospital.
