Mark Richard Morley, Whidbey Island, WA — Mark Richard Morley passed away unexpectedly on August 17th, 2024, leaving behind a profound legacy of love, laughter, and cherished memories. Born on February 16th, 1955, in Snohomish, Washington, Mark was a man deeply rooted in family, humor, and an unwavering dedication to those closest to him.
He spent much of his life on Whidbey Island, moving there at the age of 15 and never looking back. Mark was known for his ability to find potential in anything that others might overlook. Whether it was an old tractor or a random tool, he saw value where most did not. His hobbies included hunting for treasures, collecting items that might come in handy someday—even stockpiling paper towels, which he humorously believed were essential.
Mark is survived by his beloved wife of 47 years, Diane, who was not just his spouse but his closest companion. Together, they raised three children: Justen, Jamie, and Jaime. His granddaughter Hailey, who often teased him for always wanting to be the center of attention, shared a unique bond with him. Their playful arguments brought joy and laughter to the family.
Though he now joins four of his siblings who have passed before him, Mark leaves behind five siblings and a large extended family who will continue to share stories of their time together. He was deeply loved and will be remembered for his fierce devotion to his family, particularly for his care and support of Diane, who is battling Primary Progressive MS.
In lieu of flowers, the family is asking for donations to assist with Diane’s ongoing medical care, as this is what Mark would have wanted. His passing has left an immense void in the hearts of those who knew him, but his memory will live on through the love he shared, the laughter he brought, and the countless stories of his life.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Morley family during this incredibly difficult time. May Mark’s soul rest in peace, and may his family find comfort in the beautiful memories they shared together.
