 BERRY, MARK ALLAN October 21, 1966 - October 7, 2012 Mark passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, October 7, 2012 in Tampa, FL where he resided for the last ten years. He passed away due to complications from throat cancer. He is survived by his life partner, Traci Lovato and her grandmother Helen in Tampa, FL; his mother, Jackie Berry of Albuquerque, NM; his father Bob Berry and his wife Maria of Tijeras, NM.; his older brother Stephen Berry of San Diego, CA; his sister Stacy Berry of Albuquerque, NM; his only niece Kayleigh "Squeeks" Brown of Albuquerque, NM; and many aunts, uncles, cousins and his best furry friend Sidney. A memorial service was held along the banks of the Alafie river in Riverside, FL., a favorite spot of his to sit, watch river dolphins, manatee and catch an occasional fish. Mark was a volunteer every year for the organization "Make a Difference" fishing tournament in Clearwater, FL for special needs children of the area. One year "Squeeks" was there to be a volunteer with him. A cherished memory. A family dinner was held October 20, 2012 in honor of his 46th birthday. Mark was much loved and taken from us too soon. He will be greatly missed.
