Mark Boyle Obituary

Mark T. Boyle

Mark T. Boyle, 35, died tragically on Wednesday, Aug. 2, 2023, from injuries sustained when a man intentionally ran over him at his West Penn Business Mark T. Boyle Welding LLC.

Born Thursday, Oct. 8, 1987 in Pottsville, Mark is survived by his mother, Christine E. Boyle; father, Mark A. Boyle and his wife Kailey; wife, Elizabeth A. (Hosler) Boyle; daughters, Emma Boyle, Ava Boyle, McKenzie Witkowski; stepdaughter, Jaylessa Kane; sisters, Kendra Boyle and her finance Jake Vincent; maternal grandmother, Christine E. Leskosky; paternal grandfather, Robert A. "Bob" Boyle, Sr.; many aunts; uncles and friends survive Mark.

Mark was predeceased by: maternal grandfather, Joseph Leskosky; paternal grandmother, Betty Ann Boyle.

A 2006 graduate of Tamaqua High School, Mark was a welding savant. He developed his work ethic at a young age working on Leiby's farm in the Lewistown Valley, tending to the work horses, and assisting with the Yuengling Draft Wagon.

While working as an apprentice welder he challenged his boss to sit for Federal Welding Certifications and passed without attending a certificate program.

Mark questioned the typical work environment, for he could envision a better way. Removed from union projects, only for the owner of companies to come back to him to make it right, and legal.

In 2007 he ventured out on his own forming Mark T. Boyle Welding LLC, a welding, sandblasting, and painting company, and Mark T. Boyle 570 LLC. Trucking.

Mark's talents were sought after throughout the state. His techniques of refurbishing frames put many self-employed businesses back on the road.

Mark adored his girls and looked forward to weekend camping trips. He liked to restore vintage tractors and participated in Tractor Pull. Mark was devoted to his great danes: Shadow, LuLu, Lacey, and Lola.

Very few people can tabulate Mark's accomplishments, and those who knew him know he was just getting started. If Mark is a reflection of what is considered millennial generation, then we are in good hands.
