Mark Morse Obituary
MARK CHARLES MORSE
Mark Charles Morse of Traverse City, Michigan, formerly of Bethesda, MD, passed away after a brief illness on May 4. 2023. Mark grew up in Michigan and graduated from Michigan State University with a BA in Economics and an MBA in International Business. After graduation, Mark moved to Washington, DC where he worked for the U.S. Department of State, the Vice President of the United States, and the Shah of Iran. He was also an International Management Consultant for 30 years, with a focus on the Middle East. Mark will be remembered for his wry sense of humor, his quick wit, and his love for and commitment to his family. He was a consummate international traveler, an ardent follower of politics, and a loyal Spartans fan. Mark is survived by his wife Paula; his sons Mark Jr. and Michael; his sisters Wendy and Marjann; as well as his brother Brian, who will all miss him dearly. A celebration of his life is planned for later this summer.
