Mark Kunkowski Obituary

Mark Kunkowski

November 30, 1956 - November 7, 2025

KUNKOWSKI, Mark A., 68, of Mechanicsville, passed away on Friday, November 7, 2025, after a 3-year battle with pancreatic cancer. He is survived by his wife of 42 years, Mary; and his youngest son, Patrick, 36. Mark is preceded in death by his oldest son, Kevin; and his parents, Frank and Mary Kunkowski. Mark served his community in multiple public service capacities for more than 42 years before retiring and then continued to share his knowledge as an instructor and mentor. Mark loved fishing, shooting, hunting, spending time with family and friends. The family would like to thank Bon Secours Hospice by Compassus for all the nurses and doctors loving care that they gave Mark during his time with them. There will be a reception of friends and family followed by a celebration of life at the Church of the Redeemer, 8275 Meadowbridge Road, Mechanicsville, VA 23111, in the early spring of 2026. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the American Cancer Society or your local hospice company in Mark's name.

"Though many friends already joined God's heavenly group, we still pray for their many wonderful gifts along the way. To those who have managed to live on, God Bless You. Have fun and enjoy the days you have left. We'll surely meet again in the House of Lord." With Love, Mark Kunkowski
