Mark Joseph Occhipinti

June 15, 1944 – Oct. 1, 2017

Mark was a wonderfully talented carpenter and artist/poet. He was loved by many. He lived his life out in Alaska with his mother Jo and Grandma Doris close by. He honored their legacy as well as created his own for his children to pass on to theirs. Jesus became his true love in his last years (Psalms: 139).

Mark is survived by his two children, Chance Occhipinti and Shannon Hoffschneider, grandchildren Anthony, Jay and Justin and great-grandchild Angeleah. Also, cousin Ernie Wheatley as the last man standing.

“Tell my friends I love them and goodbye.” — Mark
