Obituary via Neidhard Young Funeral Home
Mark Lloyd Pitman, 69, of Cincinnati, passed away peacefully on Sunday, March 9, 2025. He was born to the late Lloyd "Lefty" and Dolly (nee Wood) Pitman.
Mark was a devoted father to Colton Pitman and Paige (Brandon) Conway, and a proud grandfather to his three beloved grandchildren, Aubrey, Grace, and Calvin. He was a loving brother to J. Michael (Mary) Pitman and Lori (Joe) Kleiman, and an uncle to four nephews. Mark is also survived by many cousins.
A 1973 graduate of Finneytown High School, Mark worked for over 40 years in the demolition and environmental service industries.
Growing up, Mark was an excellent athlete, and later became an avid golfer. He was a true sports enthusiast, with a deep love for UC football. Above all, Mark's greatest pride came from the moments spent with his grandchildren, whom he adored and cherished. His legacy is one of love, kindness, and the joy he brought to everyone around him.
Mark lived life to the fullest, and his big heart and care for those closest to him will be remembered by all who knew him.
Visitation will be held at Neidhard Young Funeral Home, 7401 Hamilton Ave., Mt. Healthy, on Friday, March 14, 2025, from 9:00 AM until the time of the funeral service at 11:00 AM. Burial will follow at Arlington Memorial Gardens.

I met Mark in junior high school at Finneytown. We had a blast growing up together, somehow mostly avoiding trouble. As we got a bit older (around 16 err I mean 18), we´d meet up at the Rustic Tavern. It was our hangout spot, where we´d catch up, have fun and laugh together, he always had that infectious smile on his face, and I always remembered he would call me "buddy"
However, as life took us down different paths, we lost touch. Years later, by chance, we ran into each other of all places on a driving range. Neither of us knew the other even played golf. Mark had a permanent tee time at Kingswood Golf Course that began when the sunlight was just light enough to see. Ugg! But he loved it.
For one glorious summer we played golf together every Saturday at sunrise.That´s when I realized how passionate he was about golf. He could hit a golf ball with a three iron farther than anyone I knew, with just a beautiful little fade on it, right down the middle. It was a thing of beauty . On the other hand, his driver was a different story. He had no idea where the ball was going. He´d only pull his driver out of his bag when he was feeling lucky. Haha!
Rest in peace, good buddy. Until we meet again on the other side.
Have fun playing on that big beautiful golf course in the sky. Keep your game sharp, maybe by the time I get there, you´ll have mastered your driver. Love you, miss you.
