Mark Dwyer Obituary
Mark Aloysius Dwyer, age 68, passed away peacefully on December 4, 2024, surrounded by his loving family. Born on June 23, 1956, in Chicago, Illinois, Mark was a proud lifelong Chicagoan whose love for his family, community, and sports defined his life.
He is survived by his two devoted sons, Patrick (Melissa) Dwyer and Timothy (Angela) Dwyer; his beloved grandchildren, Tyler and Cayla; and his cherished siblings, the late Kerry Ann Jacobs, Cynthia Waterman, Gregory Dwyer, Gerald (Catherine) Dwyer and Colleen Dwyer. Mark was also a loving uncle to many nieces and nephews, who adored his warmth, humor, and support.
Mark was a lifelong Shamrock and dedicated member of Local 130, where he took immense pride in his work and the camaraderie of his union brothers and sisters. His warmth, humor, and work hard-play hard mentality for life will be dearly missed by all who knew him. He was a pillar of strength and kindness to everyone he met.

I knew the Dwyer family growing up in Oak Park. I spent a lot of time in the family home with Mark´s parents and all of his siblings. My heart goes out to the family for their loss. I will keep all you in my prayers during this very difficult time.
