Mark Scott Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Born on December 20, 1962, in Chicago, Illinois, Mark was a beloved husband, father, father-in-law, grandfather, brother, son, and friend. He spent his life devoted to the people he loved, especially his wife, Patricia (Patty). The two met as teenagers, began dating soon after, and never looked back-recently celebrating 39 wonderful years of marriage. Together, they built a life rooted in love, laughter, and family.
Mark was the proud father of his daughter, Christine, and his son, Ryan. To his family, he was their rock-the one they turned to for comfort, strength, and warmth. His laugh was one of a kind, his hugs made the world feel safe, and his presence brought a sense of peace that will be deeply missed.
Professionally, Mark dedicated over 29 years to serving the Pensacola community as a highly respected Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Disorders physician. His passion for medicine was matched only by his compassion for people, and he touched countless lives through his work.
Outside of medicine, Mark lived with curiosity and joy. He was a loyal Florida Gators fan, a Parrothead, an avid photographer, a traveler at heart, and a lover of birds and all things sea-related. Whether he was crafting a homemade tiki cocktail, listening to Jimmy Buffett, or watching a sunset on the water, Mark embraced the moments that made life sweet.
He is survived by his loving wife, Patty; his children, Christine (Michael) Paulzak and Ryan (Stihlyn) Scott; his cherished grandson, Leo; his mother, Sue Ellen Scott; his siblings, Jacqueline Borello, Steven Scott, and Jeffrey Scott; and many nieces, nephews, lifelong friends, and colleagues who will forever carry his memory in their hearts.
"So, when the journey gets long, just know that you are loved, there is light up above, and the joy is always enough. Bubbles up, Mark, bubbles up."
Family and friends are welcome to join in remembering and honoring Mark's life. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, June 21, 2025, at Faith Chapel Funeral Home North, located at 1000 S Hwy 29, Cantonment, FL 32533.
• Visitation will begin at 12:00 p.m. Central Time
• Service will begin at 1:00 p.m. Central Time
• A reception will follow immediately after the service at the same location

For many years I had the privilege and honor of working with Mark at West Florida Hospital. I was always impressed with Mark´s medical knowledge and his compassion for not only his patients but also for the staff. I remember many difficult cases working with Mark and always respected his opinion. Mark was an avid photographer and I always marveled over his beautiful photos he would take on his trips. Although Mark is no longer here his presence will always be with us.

Dear Patty,
My heart aches for you. Mark was an incredible person. He was a mentor to me and I was lucky to know and care for you both. Mark was kind. He helped me get to the hospital during that ice storm 10 years ago. I was 9 months pregnant and wobbly without the ice. He was so encouraging to me during my first years of practice. He stood by me when I asked for help getting nails out of the stomach on call in the er. I was lucky to know him. If you are ever in Jacksonville please let me know.
Patty, I hope you live and enjoy. I can´t imagine what you are feeling. Sending prayers for peace and calmness.

In all my years of walking these hallways and being out in the community I have never heard a negative comment concerning you.. they were always positive and uplifting! The staff here will remember you always! Prayers for your family during these most difficult times! ~Tammy Denson
