We are gathered here today to mourn the untimely passing of Mark Gould, who left this world on March 31, 2024, at the age of 53. Born on October 27, 1970, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Mark was the beloved son of William P. Gould, Jr. and Cheryl A. (née DeFrancisco) Gould.

Mark was a dedicated plumber by trade, always willing to tackle any leak or clog with a smile on his face. When he wasn't fixing pipes, Mark could be found indulging in his favorite hobbies, which included listening to his police scanner, watching trains go by, and collecting keys of all shapes and sizes.

Mark leaves behind his loving partner Rosezanna Howard, as well as his three children Miriam Cruz, Mary DiBiasio, and Teddi Gould. A proud grandfather to seven grandchildren, Mark's family was truly the light of his life.

Despite his gruff exterior, Mark had a heart of gold and a wicked sense of humor that could always make you laugh, even on the darkest days. He will be sorely missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

In the end, it was Hypertensive and Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease that took Mark from us too soon. While we grieve his loss, let us also celebrate the life of a man who lived each day to the fullest, leaving a trail of laughter and love in his wake.
