Christopher Rooney Obituary
Christopher "Mark" Rooney was unexpectedly taken from us in a tragic car accident on his way home from work, August 3, 2020. He was born April 11, 1989, to Carisia and Michael. Mark was one of four brothers, Anthony, Spencer, and Stephen, with whom he shared countless adventures. He was planning to marry the love of his life, Heather, in the fall of 2021 with honeymoon plans to travel across the country in the campervan that they were restoring together.
Being innately gifted with his hands, Mark was a professional mechanic for the City of Jacksonville and selflessly fixed cars and toys for anyone in need. He enjoyed traveling, camping, bringing everyone together, and playing the bongos. As a faithful member of Celebration Church, Mark put Love and God first, which was apparent through his unbounded kindness and regular acts of service. We remember Mark's noble heart and tireless generosity to his family, friends, and even complete strangers. He would want us to love and cherish and care for each other through these difficult times.

I have so many things to say about Mark; he was a wonderful man and my very good friend. I am a better person to have known him and I will try to make the world a better place as well, because I guarantee you he certainly did.

I did not know Mark-but I was at the accident scene and prayed with him in his final hour. I am so saddened that he passed. I see that he was a loving, giving person who was taken way too soon. I am sorry to his family and friends

I knew Mark through our work at Fleet Management. He was always pleasant with a smile and a kind word. We shared many lighthearted and interesting conversations, usually ending with a good laugh. Thoughts and prayers are with his family, fiance and friends. Rest in peace brother You will be missed.
