Mark Meredith

Mark Meredith of Boulder, Colorado died on August 19, 2023. Embodying the fruits of the spirit, Mark was a kind, positive, joyful person whose moto was "there is nothing worth more than this day." He approached life with integrity and creativity through an artist's point of view - in his daily life, work, family relationships, and friendships. Mark had a fine mind and intellect; a love of learning and life; an insatiable interest in countless topics; and respect for all people, animal life, and the earth. Mark earned a BA in Fine Arts, MA in Art Education, and a PhD in Higher Education Administration, with a cognate in management and organization from the University of Colorado, Boulder. His primary occupation was CU-Boulder for 31 years and University of Rochester for 2 years (university planning, facilities, academics, long-range); directing data collection and analysis for management, forecasting, policy and other administrative decision needs; and teaching in the Graduate Higher Education Administration program. Mark was very grateful for living in the USA; his wonderful and loving parents; his loving wife and daughter; good friends and mentors; good health; opportunities to pursue education and work; numerous interests; and for all sorts of generous help and encouragement through the years. Mark is loved, remembered, and survived by his wife and soulmate Sydney; grandson Matthew; granddaughter Sarah; his sister and brother-in-law Melinda and Gilbert Thompson and their children, Jeff, Loren and Lisa (and their families); nephews Steve, Mike, Norman, and Mark (and their families); nephew John (and his family); niece Linda; and Linda T of Sitka.
