Mark W. Gibello

1946 - 2018

Mark W. Gibello passed away suddenly on February 13, 2018. He was born on March 10, 1946 in NYC and grew up in Southern California. He attended Taft High School then received his BS and MBA in Finance from USC. He was a member of Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity and after graduation remained very active in the USC Associates. As a lifelong loyal Trojan, Mark rarely missed a USC football game. Mark was Executive VP and a Director of Trust Company of the West where he held senior management positions for over 25 years. He served as a Director for AIMSE and was a former Chair of NASRA. Mark joined the Saint John's Health Center Foundation board of trustees in 1999. He was serving on the Executive Committee and the Affiliation Fund Advisory Committee. He served as chair of the Board Affairs Committee and co-chaired two previous Capital Campaigns. In addition, he was currently serving on the Providence Saint John's Health Center Board of Directors and was a trustee of the Children's Bureau Foundation. Mark considered every opportunity to serve others a true privilege. An avid golfer, he was a member of Eldorado CC, Loch Lomond CC and Los Angeles CC. He was very proud of the role he played in bringing the Walker Cup to LACC and the city of Los Angeles. When not playing golf, Mark loved his beach time at the Bel Air Bay Club, The Beach Club and Punta Mita Golf and Beach Club. Because of his infectious personality and genuine charm he was often referred to as the "Mayor", making it a priority to take a personal interest in everyone he met. He never forgot a name or missed an opportunity to let you know how much he cared. Mark was the consummate gentleman. Above all else, family was everything to Mark. He cherished every moment spent together. His memory lives on through the lives of his loving wife of 29 years, Kris Gibello; children-Mark Gibello (Jennifer), Lisa Gibello-Khoury (Brian), Brian Kirch and Megan Kobata (Randy); grandchildren-Tyler, Ben and Kate Gibello, Louie Khoury, Aidan, Caroline and Jackson Kobata; sister-Barbara Dickinson (Edward) and many nieces and nephews. Services will be held Friday, March 2, St. Monica's Catholic Church at 10 A.M. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in honor of Mark's memory to St. John's Health Center Foundation or Children's Bureau.
