In December of 1998, Mark met Lisa Marie Campofiore through a mutual friend at Gippers Restaurant and Ale House in Milford, CT where he grew up. Mark and Lisa grew their family in March of 2012 with the addition of their son, Gibson Douglas Oesau.

Outside of being a beloved husband and father, he was also a cherished brother and friend to many.

Mark led an active full life. He pursued his love of music as a self-taught guitarist. He played lead guitar with Thompson Street, The Love Handles, and Take Cover as well as sharing a love for his favorite band KISS with his two brothers and his son Gibson. He was also an avid fan of sports. His teams included the Dallas Cowboys, the Colorado Avalanche and most importantly, the Pomperaug Warriors Football and Lacrosse teams.
