In Loving Memory of Mark Morreall Holley, New York
ROCHESTER, N.Y. — The Rochester community is grieving deeply following a tragic incident inside the parking garage of Rochester General Hospital that claimed the life of 69-year-old Mark Morreall of Holley, New York. His sudden passing has left family, friends, and all who knew him in profound sorrow, as they remember a man whose kindness, humility, and steady presence made the world a brighter place.
Mark was known as someone who lived quietly but loved deeply. He believed in treating others with respect, showing patience in moments of difficulty, and offering grace even when life became challenging. Those who spent time with him—whether family, neighbors, coworkers, or acquaintances—felt the warmth of a man who valued sincerity and understood the importance of slowing down to appreciate the simple, meaningful moments in life.
A lifelong resident of the Holley community, Mark was deeply rooted in the place he called home. He built bonds that lasted years, cared deeply for the people around him, and carried a gentle sense of loyalty to those he loved.

His laughter, his stories, and the thoughtful conversations he shared will be forever cherished.
Mark was not only loved for his personality but admired for his character. He was dependable, hardworking, and selfless—a person who showed up when he was needed and asked for very little in return. His kindness was not loud, yet it was powerful. He made a difference in the ways that matter most: through care, love, presence, and consistency.
His family was the center of his world. Mark’s love as a father, grandfather, brother, and friend was unwavering and tender. He found joy in time spent together—whether sharing a meal, exchanging conversations, or simply sitting in one another’s company. Those closest to him will forever carry his love in their hearts, a love that time nor distance can ever erase.
