Mark Hartmann

Mark Hartmann, 62, forever full of happiness and good will, passed away the morning of Sunday, February 21, with his loving wife at his side. The youngest son of Jack Hartmann Jr. and Dolores Doerre, Mark's early years were spent in Manchester, NJ, graduating from Lakewood HS in '76. After earning an associate's degree from Ocean County Community College, he found occupation at Oyster Creek nuclear power plant, a place he'd stay for the next 36 years, laboring the majority of them in Radiation Protection and as a proud member of IBEW Local 1289. A tireless work ethic, it was Mark's family and friends he turned an even greater dedication toward, fixing, supervising, and educating as he mended our homes, cars, and relationships. Moments of rest meant pancake breakfasts, trips for ice cream, caring for one of his cherished dogs, and Sundays at Manahawkin Baptist Church where he continued his lifelong affinity of music playing drums in the worship band. However, it was always the beach that he loved the most, a place he asked to be memorialized when the warm sunshine returns. Predeceased by his parents, Mark leaves behind a beautiful family: his unwavering and nurturing spouse, Evelyn; older brothers Jay and Doug; daughter Lauren Gleeson and her husband Sean; son Eric and his fiancée Allie, and his son Jack. Treasured also were his three Pelrine stepchildren: son Richard and his wife Kane; son Grant; and daughter Brittni Weiss and her husband Tim. Collectively, he celebrated six grandchildren: Chase and Brody Pelrine; Zoë Pelrine; and Eamon, Patrick, and William Mark Gleeson.
