Mark Steven DeAugustino

So sad to learn of the passing of yet another member of the DeAugustino family. I had the privilege to have begun my teaching career at Munhall High School where I coached football with Mark's Uncle Steve. In 1973, I joined the faculty at North Allegheny where I worked with Mark's Dad, the legendary Gus DeAugustino. I watched Mike and Scott wrestle all the way to States and the same with Mark, but also had the honor to have taught him as well. Mark was a fine student and an even finer young...

Mark I had in one of my English classes at North Allegheny. One of the more quiet of the DeAugustino's, he was still a great student to have in class, respectful and hard working. His family should be proud of all he accomplished.

My sincere prayers and condolences to your family. I know how proud you were of the accomplishments and skill he had as a wrestler and the knowledge that he passed down many lessons to his students.

I looked up to Coach D, he was a father figure to me. He was an amazing person with a really good heart. He always made me smile when I needed it. He was a wonderful teacher and always believed in me even when I didn’t believe in myself. He made school less boring and made me hate it less. He was my favorite teacher. I loved him with all my heart. Rest in peace Coach D. You will be missed. Sending my condolences to his family and friends. ❤

Coach D was an amazing teacher and will be missed.

Reading about his life since UT, it is clear that he continued to positively impact all those he encountered, including many young people he taught, coached, and mentored. At the center of this seems to be the same big heart that I knew so many years ago, and the picture above shows he also retained his fun-loving nature....

I loved Mark! From the first time I met him when our teams competed against each other at Pasco. He was so genuine and truly a man of honor. Whenever I would have the blessing of being able to share some time, laughs and stories with him would absolutely make my day! My deepest sympathies to Suzanne and the entire family. Truly a man of faith who expressed his love for other openly and freely. Unafraid to speak of Jesus, he strived to emulate peace and love to others in his life. He'll get...
