Mark McCullough Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Oct. 1 to Oct. 4, 2023.
Rochester - Wednesday, September 27, 2023. Mark is survived by his longtime, loving partner, Thea Sauer; his son, Ryan (Veronica) McCullough, daughter, Caitlin (Derek Slovenec) McCullough, son, Kyle (Chloe) McCullough; sisters, Sharon (Ron) Conrad, Janice (Jay) Tedesco, Beth McCullough; nieces, nephews and cousins; and many good friends at the Elks Lodge and the Swillburg neighborhood. He was predeceased by parents, Muriel and Francis McCullough; sister, Effie Mae Glitch; and brothers, William McCullough and Bruce R. McCullough. Mark will be dearly missed by his "sister by another mister", Mary O'Dea.

Mark was a retired railroad conductor. He enjoyed estate sales, antique toys, was an avid numismatist, and was a very good horseshoe player. Most of all, Mark loved being a partner and father to his children, and recently thrilled by the news of his first grandchild on the way.

Family and friends are invited to a Celebration of his Life at the Elks Lodge, 3525 E. Henrietta Rd., Henrietta NY 14467, Sunday, October 8th, 11am to 1 pm. Donations to the Elks Lodge or the ASPCA.

It´s been two years since your passing and I am positive that the people who knew you, the believers in the faith, know that although you´re absent from the body, you´re present with the Lord. 2 Corinthians 5:8. Knowing this gives all that truly knew and cared about you, peace of mind. May the Lord continue to nourish your spirit and watch over your earthly family.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.
Mark and I met when I was in like 3rd grade. He was staying with his sister Effie. We were friends all thru our years growing up. I cherish those memories. I named my oldest son Mark after him. We lost touch as adults. But would occasionally see each other. Mark wasn't just a friend, he was like family.

Mark was one of my great friends in life. Always full of fun and up for a challenge. Loved to laugh and spend time with his Swillburg buddies. Mark loved his family and always talked with great pride of his children. One thing I loved about Mark was that he never asked anything of anyone except to be his friend. Always willing to help. Mark will also go down as the "Fastest Runner" in Swillburg. Love you Mark! .....Tom O'Connell

Although I didn´t have many direct interactions with Mark on a daily basis; I feel I knew him vicariously through the daily interactions with his son, Ryan, my daughter´s fiancée. I pray that the Lord receives his soul and continuously watch over and protect his family until they are all reunited on that blessed day.
