Mark Whalen Obituary
COLLEGEVILLE, Pa. - Mark Edward Whalen, 67, of Collegeville, Pa., passed away Tuesday, June 25, 2024, at Phoenixville Hospital, Phoenixville, Pa.
He was born on July 25, 1956, in Urbana, the son of the late Robert Whalen and Mary Lou (Tempel) Whalen.
Mark worked at AXS, a premier global ticketing platform, for over 24 years as a senior product support engineer.
He is survived by two sisters and a brother (and their spouses), Julia Ohlsson (Dave), Paul Whalen (Laura) and Mary Beth Whalen-Kerf (Dave). Mark also had many nieces and nephews, Karl and Robert (Lindsay) Ohlsson, Rachel (Chris) Green, Andrew and Wesley Whalen and Anna and Maxwell Kerf; and a great-niece and -nephews, Trent Ohlsson (in heaven), Daphne and Dylan Ohlsson and River Green.

Mark's local family is devastated, including Ann, Clark, David and John Cooper, Gordy, Anne Marie, Michael Burke, Marak Zwick and Rich Prince and their spouses.
Though we grieve his loss, we also celebrate the wonderful life he lived and the impact he had as a professional in his industry and especially on his family and friends who loved him dearly.
A celebration of life will occur at a later date.
