Mark Patrick Flaherty

I was shocked to learn of Mark' s passing today, 1/31/22. I've known Mark for just shy of 40 years. We worked in the same building - the United States Steel Building and we became friends there. We played on the same softball team together for several years. Then a handful of years later, we were in law school together, and then we both served on the Duquesne Law Review.

Our paths crossed inexorably and for that I'm glad. I'm also sad because he had so much more to give to make...

Mark was a good & honest man. I met Mark the first time when his father Judge Flaherty was running for County Commissioner and he was a friend of my fathers. I was happy to see Mark enter public office and sorry to see him leave it, but honesty is not in vogue. The world is a darker & colder place for his passing. My deepest sympathies to his family. See you in the Land of the Leal my friend.

I’m so saddened with the news of Mark’s passing. He was so genuine, kind, funny, and just a wonderful friend & classmate. I will never forget his endearing smile and laughter, always bringing a smile to anyone he was with. May he rest and be at peace. My heartfelt condolences to all of his family. We will all miss Mark. God bless.

Mark was a kind and thoughtful person whose presence definitely made this world a better place. He rarely talked about himself, and his face always lit up when talking about Anne and Deirdre. It was obvious how much he loved them and loved his life. He lived a good life but was taken from us too soon. We will miss his smiling face and talking with him on our walks around the neighborhood.

Our sympathies go out to the Flaherty family. I was lucky enough to meet Mark our first day at Duke together and we had been friends ever since. Mark made me a better person by modeling generosity, loyalty, and how to live a joyful life everyday. He was never afraid to be honest when things were going too far and he lived his faith when it was not always easy or in style. We have lost a good man. We are keeping all of you in our thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry for your loss. Mark was such a great guy. Always smiling. I know you all have so many memories of him. I hope these memories can carry you through this sad time. Sending prayers to all. Rest easy Mark.

We are blessed to have known Mark and had him in our lives. Since college, he was always there with his great smile, laughs and kindness. He will be deeply missed but leaves the world a better place. Our thoughts and prayers are with Anne and the family through this difficult time.

Sending prayers to the Flaherty Family. I remember watching Mark play soccer at Mt. Lebanon High School. He was a tough competitor but always a big smile on his face. More recently I ran into Mark and spoke with him. He was gracious and kind. I know the love he had for his family and he will be sorely missed. My deepest condolences.
