Mark Peter Clausi, 33, of Kingston, New York, died suddenly in Port Saint Lucie, Florida.

Mark was born November 19, 1987, the youngest son of Michael L. & Patricia M. (Sullivan) Clausi.

In Mark’s short life he enjoyed many things and brought love and joy to those around him. As a lover of baseball and having played most of his childhood and adult life he made many wonderful lifelong friends. His incredibly large and loving personality was hard not to love and barely fit into any room. He boasted an incredible sense of humor and a bright and infectious smile. He was incredibly passionate about his family, especially his siblings, nieces, nephews, and cousins.

After graduating from John A. Coleman High School, he worked in local banks saving his money and at the ripe old age of 22, he followed his dream to California. He spent many years working in the Hospitality Industry in restaurants in both California and New York. Mark loved to play the guitar, cook a mean steak and sing at the top of his lungs! His family will forever remember his laughter, smile and bright blue eyes.

Later in life Mark suffered from a debilitating mental illness and depression. After a courageous and long battle and hurting many, including himself along the way, he succumbed to the unbearable pain. We find comfort knowing Mark loved God and is in His capable hands. It would be remiss not to thank the people that were gracious to Mark even in the depths of his illness. Special thanks to Kathy McGowan who never gave up on him and PCoyne who always made him feel loved and considered him family. To his aunts, uncles, and cousins who loved Mark and always came together for him, there are no words.

Mark is survived by his incredibly loving mother, his father, sisters, Aimee (Michael Parks), Meghan, Emily (Ernie Cuff) brother Thomas (Jillian Ranno), nephews, Ethan (Tori) and Carson Parks, and nieces Hallie Gardner, Alexandra and Ella Hasbrouck, and Lily Cuff as well as many loving Aunts, Uncles and cousins.

He is preceded in death by his oldest brother, Michael T. Clausi, his maternal grandparents, Philip & Joan Sullivan, paternal grandfather, Thomas Clausi, an Uncle Thomas Sullivan, and Aunt Kathleen (Sullivan) Ball.

A graveside memorial service with be held 11 AM Saturday Sept. 11, 2021 at Saint Mary's Cemetery, 322 Foxhall Avenue, Kingston. Pastor James Smith will officiate.
