Mark Gioseffi Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 20, 2025.
Mark M. Gioseffi, also known as "Gio," passed away on August 12, 2025, in Lakeland, Florida, at the age of 65. He was born on July 29, 1960, in the Bronx, New York, and raised in Emerson, New Jersey. A man with a kind soul, Mark carried the spirit of his hometown 'Cavos' with him throughout his life.

He was the beloved son of the late Andrew and Sophie Gioseffi. Mark is lovingly remembered by his brother Andrew and sister-in-law Ilene; his sister Lynne Walther and brother-in-law Paul; his niece Kara; and nephews Brian, Jason, Alex, and Eric.

Mark had a deep appreciation for life's simple pleasures. An avid fisherman, he found peace casting a line into quiet waters. He also enjoyed bowling and biking. With a strong appreciation of music, he really enjoyed attending rock concerts. A lifelong sports enthusiast, Mark remained a devoted fan of the New York Yankees, Jets, and Rangers-loyalty to his teams never wavered.

A Graveside Service will be held on October 27, 2025, at 11:30 AM at Ascension Cemetery, 650 Saddle River Road.

May his memory bring comfort to those who knew him and continue to inspire good and kindness in others.

Donations in Mark's name can be made to American Stroke Association or to your preferred charity.

I am so happy that I got to spend the last four years of Mark´s life with him in Florida. I enjoyed talking to him 3-4 times a week. He had a little accident with his shoulder and I Rehabilitate it for him when he came to my studio down here in Pompano Beach. When we got even closer, I was the one who intended most of the concerts in Florida with him. I am grateful for his friendship. He was a good man.

We were so sorry to hear about Mark's passing. All the Emerson Griffins remember the many, many happy times we shared with Andy, Mark, and Lynn on Erie Avenue, Briarwood Court, and, of course, Nimando Place. We had quite the childhood! All the Emerson Griffins send their love and their prayers.
