Published by Legacy Remembers on Jul. 9, 2014.
Mark David Gottlieb
(May 24, 1963-July 5, 2014)

Retired law enforcement officer, fireman, and paramedic, Mark D. Gottlieb passed away on July 5, 2014 in Dekalb County, Georgia. Mark served the public for over 30 years specializing in Violent Crimes and Domestic Violence. At Mark's Memorial, Deputy Chief Larry Smith noted that Mark worked some hard cases but never tarnished his badge. Mark opened Black Diamond Lawn Care after his retirement until he and his family relocated to the mountains of Western North Carolina for his wife's job.

In addition to emergency services, Mark served as a volunteer for the children in the community. Mark was a soccer coach and t-ball coach for multiple seasons. He was a volunteer with Communities in Schools and spent time reading to the children in Clay County Schools often in uniform.

A dedicated father, husband, and friend, his quick smile, open arms, and willingness to serve others will never be forgotten.

Mark is survived by his wife, Jacqueline Kilgus Gottlieb, and his children, Maryanne, Charlie, and Lauren Gottlieb of Warne, North Carolina. His parents, Bob and Estey Gottlieb of Toledo, Ohio and sisters, Sue and Audrey.

Memorials can be sent to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial or to an Education Fund for the Children established by friends of the family at http://www.gofundme.com/GottliebEducationFund.

Mr. Gottlieb was the best officer I knew. He believed in finding the truth and worked tirelessly to follow clues and evidence. I am grateful to have known him for a short time. I wish I had thanked him more for working so hard on my case. He was an inspiration to me in my pursuit of criminal justice.

Jackie & kids, I am so very sorry for your loss, and for all of us who lost a wonderful friend. Always remember Mark's laugh, his love for his family and friends, and his love for serving and protecting the public. We were all so lucky to have had him in our lives. Margaret Chico-Eddy

Countless times I saw Mark's smile, doing what he clearly loved....being with his family. He was so very proud of you Jackie. Mark told me often of how strong of a person you are and just how fortunate he was to have you. The time I spent with Mark was wrapped around your kids. Doing homework in the car. Out on the field playing soccer and baseball. Walking the massive dogs! Waiting for kid activities to end. Not too many kids can say they have really ever known a man as special as Mark, let alone call him Dad. My heart goes out to all of you. From our kids to yours, "Mr. Mark was a cool guy.....". There was never anything more true.
