Mark Pietrzak, 90, of Stuart, FL passed away on Friday, October 11, 2024.

He is survived by his loving wife of 34 years, Flora “Suzette” Pietrzak of Stuart, FL, his two siblings Nick Pietrzak (Marianne) and Gloria ( Frank) Kane, his daughters Toni Willis of Waynesville, NC, Vieve (Gary) Hastings of Reno NV, Kim (Rob) Ladoczky of Stuart, FL and son Steve (Sally) Morris of Grand Cayman; grandchildren Cassidy, Kaysi, Dusty, Chris, Alex, Tyler, Travis, Fallon and Porter and 11 great-grandchildren. 

Mark will be remembered as an eternal storyteller, a talented industrial designer for Martin Marietta, Korean War Veteran who served in the USAF, Big Band enthusiast with a roots in the first American bandstand radio show with his trombone. But most of all Mark will be remembered for his "warm heart", his adoration of his wife "Suzie", being a role model as a father and well just one of the best GRAMPS that ever lived. He spent many days hiking, watching sea turtles hatch, swimming, sailing, and having adventures in the mountains of North Carolina with his grandkids. He was a legend with a thousand stories to tell he will be missed. 

A Service will be held on Thursday, October 17, 2024, at 10:00 am at the Stuart Chapel of Martin Funeral Home and Crematory, 961 S. Kanner Highway, Stuart, FL with Pastor Gary Carr presiding.
