Mark Gibson Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Small’s Mortuary - Mobile on Jan. 12, 2026.
Mark Andrew Gibson passed away on January 8, 2026. He was predeceased by his father, Thomas S. Gibson Sr., of La Grange, Georgia; his mother, Marion Gibson, of Yonkers, New York; his brother, Kenneth Gibson, of Yonkers, New York; his sister, Donna Lloyd, of Orlando, Florida; and his brother, Thomas S. Gibson II, of Peekskill, New York.

He is survived by three sisters: Beverly Patterson of Atlanta, Georgia; Joanne Porter of Orlando, Florida; and Jennifer Gibson of Elmsford, New York.

Also surviving are his three children: LaTasha Brown of Mobile, Alabama, and Kenneth Bynum and Adrienne Gibson of Orlando, Florida.

Mark is also survived by his grandchildren, Kiera Glover, Jacobi McDaniel, Rileigh Bonham, and Oliver Sutton, all of Mobile, Alabama, and by his great-granddaughter, Denym Moorer, of Mobile, Alabama.

He is further survived by his beloved nieces and nephews: Rahkyia Gibson of Sylacauga, Alabama; Nathan and Nolan Lloyd of Orlando, Florida; Nicole and Shawn Patterson of Atlanta, Georgia; and Robbie, Candace, Reggie, and Bailey Porter of Orlando, Florida. He is also survived by his beloved ex-wife, Gwendolyn Gibson of Orlando, Florida, and his longtime best friend, Stanley Ridley.

Mark Andrew Gibson leaves behind a legacy measured not by what he owned, but by how deeply he loved and how generously he gave. He was a tireless hard worker, a devoted provider, and a selfless friend. He showed up for anyone who needed him-often quietly, yet always sincerely. His wit could lighten heavy moments, his creativity brought ideas to life, and his charm made people feel instantly at ease. Mark dreamed big and lived with purpose, and those dreams now live on in the many lives he touched. He will be profoundly missed, forever remembered, and always loved.

Job well done, Mark Andrew Gibson.
