Mark Allen DiPrete, 62, of Cranston passed peacefully on October 11, 2025. Mark was the son of Ethel Caparrelli DiPrete and the late Raymond W. DiPrete. He also leaves sisters Lisa DiPrete, Lori DiPrete Brown, and Kimberly Marion.
Mark was a free spirit with an irreverent sense of humor. He loved food and was a wonderful chef. However, his true passion was music. As a sound engineer with a precise ear, he inspired confidence and mentored musicians to deliver their best performances.
A graduate of Bishop Hendricken High School, Mark worked in the sound engineering and event production field for 25 years in Rhode Island and Nashville. Recently, he established Cooper Records production studio.
