Obituary of Mark Edward Buff

Mark Edward Buff, 59, passed away in Ocala, FL. He was welcomed home with open arms to be with the Lord on November 29, 2020 from complications due to COVID-19. He grew up in Rumson, NJ and graduated from Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School and Northwood Institute in Midland, MI. 

Mark married his childhood sweetheart, Alicia Hein and settled in Ocala, FL where they raised their daughter, Cyndi. He worked in sales all his life. He also was involved with two family-owned businesses in Red Bank, NJ, Felix Auto Supply and Driving Dynamics where he was a driving instructor.

Mark was full of life.  He was always the comedian. Mark was a loving and devoted father.  He told anyone that would listen that his greatest accomplishment was his daughter. He also loved his family, he was a loyal friend, and he loved the Lord. He enjoyed so many sports but especially loved to race his 3-wheel ATV. Skiing, surfing, sailing, golf, pool, ice hockey, bowling, go-karting, shooting and skateboarding were all sports he excelled in.  With an infectious smile, great sense of humor, wonderful laugh and generous heart, he will be so greatly missed by his loving family and good friends.

He is survived by his parents, Cynthia and Bill Buff of Little Silver, NJ and Jensen Beach, FL, his brother Billy and wife Nanci, Tinton Falls, NJ, his bother Keith, Long Branch, NJ, his sister Ginger Kirila and husband Gene, Pittsburgh, PA, his friend and former wife Alicia, Ocala, FL, and his loving daughter Cynthia Anderson, husband Christopher and granddaughter Emma, Dacula, GA. His nine nieces and Nephews; Will, Kate, Amanda, Lisa, Keith, Jr., Gene, Jacque, Jensen and Jesse will miss his fun and wonderful spirit too.

“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. ROMANS 8:28
