With heavy hearts, we mourn the loss of Mark Allaire Sisk, a captivating and passionate soul who passed away unexpectedly on March 16, 2024, at the age of 65 in Tift, Georgia. Mark was born on July 19, 1958, in Lubbock, Texas, to Donald John Sisk and Edythe Marie Sisk-Senick.

Mark was a creative, masterful Lighting Technician whose artistry brought brilliance to the stages of the esteemed rock band Argus. Affectionately known as "Triple-Four" in his dedicated service as taxi cab driver #444 for United Cab, he navigated the streets of Tampa, Florida with skill and care, leaving an indelible mark on all who crossed his path.

His sharp wit and sarcasm endeared him to those around him, while his love for hard rock and Celtic music, coupled with a penchant for stand-up comedy, brought him immense joy. His fascination with history led him to amass a collection of medieval weapons, each holding a tale of its own.

In his later years, Mark dedicated himself to achieving self-sufficiency, eagerly anticipating retirement and the prospect of establishing his homestead on his own land, where he envisioned spending his remaining years in tranquility surrounded by his beloved animals. Among his cherished companions over the years were an array of pets, including African grey parrots, Maine Coon kittens, snakes, ferrets, and noble German Shepherds. He leaves behind his beloved pets Lioth, Zair, and Kimi.
