Mark Thomas Aquino

Mark Thomas Aquino, 57, of Sarasota, Florida, passed away suddenly on October 18, 2025. Mark was born to the late Thomas Aquinas Aquino and his surviving mother, Lydia Patricia Aquino, in Baltimore, Md., on February 28, 1968. Mark was an avid music lover and an accomplished musician. When he was very young, he would entertain his cousins by performing as a magician and a clown (to their delight)! His quick wit and self-deprecating humor could catch you off-guard, but always kept you laughing. Mark was a hard worker and a great storyteller. He loved boating, fishing and hiking and made countless friends wherever he went. He is survived by his loving partner, Ms. Carmen Phillips, his sons, Connor Aquino (and Connor's devoted mother, Ms. Lisa Knox), Jordan Foster (and his devoted mother, Ms. Tonya Foster), his devoted mother, Ms. Lydia Aquino, his brothers and sisters, David Aquino and wife, Liz Wright, Robert Aquino and wife Elizabeth Aquino, Angela Hinton, Lisa Labre and her fiancé, Greg Smith and many nieces and nephews (Shannon Aquino, Brittany Aquino, Matt Aquino, Becki and Kris Aves, Kevin Aquino and fiancé, Gracie Hill, Charlotte Labre and Chase Labre. Mark was predeceased by his niece, Sarah Alexandria Hinton. We are truly heartbroken. Mark will miss so very much!
