Mark Rooney

It is with deep love and sadness that we announce the passing of Mark Rooney on September 30, 2025, at the age of 77. He died peacefully, surrounded by love, after a long and courageous health journey following a series of strokes.

Mark was born on May 24, 1949, in Franklin, Quebec. A man of strong values and unwavering determination, Mark built a life marked by commitment to family, integrity, and an exceptional work ethic. Over the course of his career, he served as Comptroller for a major pulp and paper mill, a role he approached with diligence, precision, and pride.

Mark was the beloved husband of Kerstin Stenvall, with whom he shared two daughters, Caroline and Becky. He was a proud grandfather to Cormac and Logan Ratledge. Later in life, Mark married Margaret Myslicki, with whom he shared many happy years. He also became a caring stepfather to her two sons, Jason and Jaime Myslicki. He was a wonderful father and husband.

Mark's life was shaped by quiet strength, loyalty, and a deep sense of responsibility to those he loved. His presence was steady and dependable, and he was always, always willing to help a friend or neighbour and mentor those he worked with.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Mark’s memory to the Daily Bread Food Bank.
