Mark Stahl Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by DeGusipe Funeral Home & Crematory - R. Lee Williams Chapel on Feb. 23, 2026.
Mark Stephen Stahl, age 54, of Tampa, Florida, passed away on February 17, 2026.

Born on December 28, 1971, Mark lived a life defined by dedication, creativity, faith, and unwavering love for his family. He was a devoted husband, father, son, brother, and grandfather whose presence brought strength, guidance, and warmth to all who knew him.

Mark is survived by his loving wife, Shelby Stahl; his children, Kayla Stahl, Jessica Stahl, Brittany Stahl, and Jacob Stahl; his cherished grandsons, Charlie Lemmer and Emmett Lemmer; his mother, Carolyn Pittman; his brothers, Donald Stahl III and Craig Stahl; and his sister, JoAnn Duffy. He was preceded in death by his father, Donald Stahl Sr.

Mark spent a decade in corporate banking management, where he demonstrated leadership, integrity, and a strong work ethic. He later devoted nearly two decades to mastering creative web development, design, and marketing. His entrepreneurial spirit and passion for innovation extended into real estate photography and interactive floor plans, where he combined technical expertise with artistic vision. He took great pride in his work and in helping others succeed.

Mark's greatest pride and joy was his family. Whether as a husband, father, grandfather, son, or brother, he showed unwavering love and commitment. He will be remembered for his strength, steady presence, creativity, deep faith, and the genuine care he had for those he loved.

Deeply passionate about his faith, Mark believed strongly in helping people and serving others. His belief in God guided his life, and he was always willing to offer encouragement, support, and a steady hand to anyone in need. His compassion and servant's heart left a lasting impression on many.

Though he is no longer with us, Mark's legacy lives on in the lives he touched and in the family he cherished. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
