Mark A. Bostick, 67 of Harrisburg, transitioned home on Wednesday, March 2, 2022. He was born in Harrisburg, son of the late Marion Bostick and the late Betty (Herring) Bostick. Mark graduated from Bishop McDevitt High School with the Class of 1971. Having a desire to further his education and with a passion for art, he entered the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. Shortly after, he began his working career at the former Bethlehem Steel Corporation in Steelton, PA as a Millwright and also was an employee of UPS (United Parcel Service). After retiring from the Steel Mill and UPS, he became an electrician. He wore many hats; a loving brother, father, uncle, grandfather and more. He was a friend. The type of friend who would answer your call in the middle of the night with a joke ready or he would come if you needed him. In his leisure, Mark loved to work out, work, travel to New Orleans and spend time with his family. He was a dependable gentleman with a heart of gold. He could start a conversation at the dinner table or a party that could keep everyone engaged for hours. He was also a true sports fan. The Philadelphia Eagles, 76ers and Phillies! If you played for Philadelphia, you had a fan! He was also known for his cooking. He would make a dish that would make your tastebuds dance. In addition to his parents, Mark was prececed in transitioning by his sister, Estella Bostick. He leaves to celebrate his life and legacy, his daughters, Latoya Durham, Tia Bostick and Tiffany Bostick; his sister, Kaleida Bostick; his brothers, Jerome Bostick and William Bostick; his granddaughter, Emma Durham; his nieces, Tonisha Johnson, Jennifer Monroe, Julia Colbert and Keesha Bostick; his nephews; Terrance Johnson and Darris Hale along with a host of grand nieces and nephews, other relatives and friends.
