Marc Louis Orlick, a man of adventure and heart, passed away on June 24, 2024, in Chesapeake, VA, at the age of 64. Born on April 18, 1960, in Brooklyn, NY, Marc lived a life full of adventure and dedication.
For over 25 years, Marc dedicated himself to his work as an electrical engineer at Raytheon, where his expertise and commitment made a lasting impact. Beyond his professional life, Marc embraced the world with a camera in hand, capturing moments through his passion for photography. His love for traveling took him to many corners of the globe, and as a member of Chesapeake Bay diving, he explored the deep blue with a sense of wonder and adventure.
Marc was preceded in death by his father, Milton; his mother, Irene; and his brother, Jeffery. He leaves behind a legacy of love and family, survived by his daughter Melissa Cahoon and her husband Micah; his brother Howard Orlick and partner Kevin Beauchamp. Marc's memory will also be cherished by his grandchildren Emily, Sarah, and Sawyer. He is also survived by Pamela Wright, Shelley Harris, and Kathy Brayton, who each held special places in his heart.
A memorial service to celebrate Marc's life will be held on Friday, July 5th, at 1 PM at Altmeyer Funeral Home – Chesapeake Chapel, located at 929 Battlefield Blvd, South, Chesapeake, VA 23322.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to The Michael J. Fox Foundation, honoring Marc's spirit by supporting a cause close to their hearts.
