elevated nl1OK Obituary

elevated nl1OK It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Mark Angelo Pena, age 31, on October 29, 2024. Born on October 22, 1993, Mark was able to make a meaningful impact on many lives through his presence.

elevated nl1OK Diagnosed with autism at an early age did not stop Mark from living life to its fullest. His autism was not a hindrance but was his superpower. He was incredibly patient and easy to get along with. His kindness allowed him to make friends wherever life took him. For every holiday, Mark was always the first to message family over Facebook wishing them all well.

elevated nl1OK Mark was always eager to talk about his favourite sport, which was baseball. As an avid baseball fan, Mark would be the first to know about anything related to his favourite team, the Toronto Blue Jays. You could also often find him with his markers and notepad in hand, drawing photos of baseball stadiums.

elevated nl1OK If he wasn’t watching videos about baseball or drawing photos of baseball stadiums, you could find him out walking around the neighbourhood or in the local park enjoying his time with friends. Mark loved to be outdoors, especially when the weather was nice. He would be out riding his bike or playing with the dogs in the neighbourhood for hours. It was the simple things in life that Mark took great pleasure in.

elevated nl1OK Mark is survived by and missed by his father, Angelito, his mother, Valentina and his sister, Christine, who will always hold him in their hearts. Mark was a loving son and brother, always eager to help wherever he could. Mark’s legacy will continue to inspire his family and friends that have been fortunate to be in his presence. While his passing was sudden and his life short, we will continue to bask in the cherished memories that we’ve been fortunate to have with him, until we see each other again.
