Mark Silloway, 60, of Stillwater, NY, passed away suddenly on August 12, 2025.

Born on June 9, 1965 in Connecticut, he was the son of the late Harriet and Lauren Arnold. Mark spent his adult life in Stillwater, where he built a life filled with hard work, humor, and love.

Mark began his career as a mechanic, later becoming a truck driver-a role he proudly held for over a decade. He was the kind of man whose humor could make anyone laugh, often with the sharp, sarcastic wit of a seasoned trucker. Beneath that humor, though, was a heart that loved deeply and fiercely.

He found joy in the simple things: admiring old cars, dreams of crafting birdhouses, spending time outdoors, horses, caring for his pets, ice cream, thunderstorms, and the people he loved most.

Mark is survived by his fiancée, Susanne Holley, his children Brandee Silloway (cherished granddaughter Ryleigh), Angel, and Dominic. He is now reunited in peace with his beloved mother Harriet and his Uncle George.

In keeping with Mark's wishes, there will be no funeral service. His memory will be honored by those who knew and loved him.

"When you love someone, you never really lose them-because they stay in your heart forever."
