Mark Roman Obituary
Age 70, passed away after an extended illness on Thursday, May 7, 2020. He was born in Canton, Ohio on March 6, 1950 to George and Mary Roman. He enjoyed a number of activities throughout his life. Mark played basketball for Timken High School; where he graduated. He served in the United States Air force from 1968-1972, during the Vietnam War. From there, he continued his education for two more years at Walsh University; before beginning work as a plumber pipe fitter for the Hoover Company. Mark was a member of the Eagles and played softball with the Canton City league. He was interested in 60's music, vintage cars (of which he collected models), and trivia. As a part of his love for sports, he was a big time fan of both the Indians and the Buckeyes. Overall Mark was known for his compassion. He got along with everyone he met and would always have a friend waiting for him wherever he would go. He loved the many animals that would visit the lake behind his home and he greatly enjoyed the company of cats. Mark cared most about his family and will be dearly missed.
In addition to his parents, Mark is preceded in death by his brother-in-law, Ron Herbst; and cousins, Nick Roman Jr. and Dennis Roman. He is survived by twin sisters, Georgene Roman and Andrea Herbst; nieces, Beth (Alan) Kinnaird, Katie Herbst; nephews, Douglas (Liz) Dobson, Jacob Kinnaird, Austin Kinnaird; and many cousins and friends.

Mark was a great guy! His sense of humor was terrific! And he needed it when we played baseball together for the Penguins in the Junior League. He was a terrific BB player at Timken and admiral opponent! My condolences to the Roman family and Mark will be surely missed.

Mark was kind, generous, and brilliantly humorous. As I write this, the sadness I feel is approbated by the smile that comes to my face in thoughts of him. My best to family and friends.

I always enjoyed talking to Mark whether he had a legal question or whether he was calling just to talk. Mark and I played against each other on the ball fields growing up and then on the same team as adults. He was a great ball player but an even greater person. May his memory be eternal.
