Mark Gold Obituary
Dr. Mark A. Gold, age 63, of Quincy, died on Thursday, January 6, 2022, at 11:23 am in Blessing Hospital.
Mark was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the son of Ronald and Barbara Gold.
Mark wanted to be a brain surgeon since he was five years old. He has been a board certified neurosurgeon for over 30 years. Mark was a physician at Quincy Medical Group and performed neurosurgery at Blessing Hospital. Mark was once told that he spent too much time with his patients, and his response was "I give the patients all the time I feel they need from me. Period. End of Story." Mark was a caring doctor and had a gentle, loving soul.
He was the best husband, father, son and brother a family could have. Mark had a big heart and would do anything to help his family, friends, patients or anyone he met.
Mark loved to travel and photography was a hobby of his. He enjoyed watching his children play golf and serving as their caddy when they were little.
Survivors include his wife, Nicole Gold of Quincy; four children, Gabriel and Sophia Gold, both of Quincy, Matthew Gold of California, and Joshua Gold of Nevada; his mother, Barbara Gold of Arizona; two sisters, his twin, Mindy (Steven) Lichtblau, and Dina (Michael) Walling, both of Arizona; a cousin, Cory Sloman of Arizona; many nieces and nephews; and an aunt, Shelly Roth of Arizona.
Mark was preceded in death by his father, Ronald Gold.
Mark's family would like to extend their thanks to the nurses, doctors and all the staff at both Quincy Medical Group and Blessing Hospital who cared for Mark during his prolonged illness.
Services: A private memorial service will be held in Arizona.

I worked with Mark for many years in Brunswick and I am deeply saddened to learn of his passing.
He was a kind and gentle man and took great care of his patients. I always planned on an extended wait in his office as he spent an inordinate amount of time with his patients.
He was an asset to this community.
My thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathy to all of his family.

My sincerest condolences to Dr. Gold's family and friends. I was his patient many years ago in Brunswick, GA and a witness to his excellent care and amazing care for his patients. He was such a hard worker that devoted so much time to his practice and patients. I threatened to start feeding him myself if he didn't gain some weight each time I saw him.

Sorry to hear this sad news - I send my wishes and prayers to Dr Gold´s family - he operated on me and saved my life - after the operation when asking if I should play golf, he said if you make money playing golf than play golf, otherwise don´t, I haven´t played since. His other statement to me was - you are my 3rd worst patient in my career, the other 2 are in wheel chairs. I would like to thank him for taking care of me and you should be very proud of your husband and father - a Great Man.

I worked for Dr.Gold in Brunswick and I´ve never met a more caring, funny , and long winded surgeon. He was constantly explaining things to anyone who wanted more knowledge about medicine or the neurological field. He always spent way too long catching up with his patients that I would have a secret code of walking in with a clipboard and saying he had a phone call to let him know that he was taking too long and he would always smile and say oh, ok Sam I know lol. He will be missed dearly by his spine center family. Absolutely the smartest man I ever knew. Condolences for his entire family. He loved you all dearly and spoke highly of all

We will forever appreciate the extra years he has given my eighty-two-year-old grandfather by successfully operating on his broken neck after a farm accident.
