Born in Augusta, GA, he was a son of the late Reverend John S. Patterson Jr. and Annabell Thompson Seago. He was a chemical operator having worked at the Savannah River Site and retired from Savannah River Nuclear Solutions after 29 ½ years of service. Mark was of the Baptist Faith and grew up singing gospel music on the radio with his Momma after his Daddy would preach. He was an avid hunter and fisherman. Some of his happiest moments were spent in the woods or on the water. He was especially devoted to his two dachshunds, Annabell and Trixie, whom he affectionately call his girls. Accidents seemed to find him, but he met each one with resilience and a good sense of humor.

Survivors include his loving wife of 24 years, Lisa Pennington Patterson; his sister and brother-in-law, Melanie (Jose) Tovar of Grovetown, GA; his brother and sister-in-law, David (Ruth) Patterson of Souderton, PA; and his nieces and nephews, Danielle (Chris) Phillips, Brandon Broome, Christopher Thompson, Jessica (James) Priest, Brandon (Lauren) Tovar, Jordan Tovar, Chase Tovar, Eva Broome, Remington Priest, Cecily Priest, Xander Tovar, Sage Tovar, Ryan Patterson, and Armani Broome.
