Obituary: Mark E. Roesler, 54

June 30, 1965 – June 22, 2020

Mark E. Roesler, of Reading, passed away on Monday, June 22nd, 2020 at Lahey Hospital and Medical Center in Burlington. Born on June 30th, 1965, all 54 years he lived were magnificent. Mark epitomized what it meant to be a father, husband, son, uncle, nephew, cousin, godfather, and true friend. He will be deeply missed by all he knew, especially for his giant golden heart, and trade-MARK-ed catchphrases.

He was the loving father of Elizabeth Roesler, Luke Roesler, Samantha Fallon, Christopher Fallon, and cherished bulldogs Lucy and Annie. Beloved son of Max Roesler III and Ginny “Baa” Roesler. Loving brother of Max Roesler IV and wife Kathy, Sheila Roesler, Susan Garringer and husband Tom, Michael Roesler, and wife Karen. Also, in-laws Mary, Cheryl, and Karen. Uncle Mark will be missed terribly by nieces and nephews Max V, Thomas, Benjamin, Sarah, Morton, Michael, Madolin, Chloe, Cadence and Harlequin. Countless special friends and extended family from near and far. Last but not least, Mark is survived by beloved wife Jennette Thomas, his best friend and partner in crime, with whom he spent many beautiful years.

Mark was larger than life. He worked hard, played harder, and was always up for a good time. He would, and did, give anyone the shirt off his back. He had many loves in addition to his family including but not limited to: his house on Moosehead Lake, snowmobiling, family fishing trips to Chapleau, golf, grilling, and 4th of July pyrotechnics on Sylvan Lake…”if I run you run!”

Parking attendants and an elevator are available. Guests are required to wear face coverings and practice safe social distancing when visiting.
