OBITUARY
Jonathan Henry Mark of Seattle, Washington died at home on June 1, 2020 after almost two years of living with glioblastoma. He was 56. Jonathan was born and raised in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

    I was Jonathan's math and computer science teacher in high school at Cambridge Rindge and Latin. Of course, he was brilliant then too, and I was lucky to keep one step ahead of him (and his group of brilliant friends Ian and Wati and his sister...  more

    I often sat near Jonathan at SIMS. He was always generous, accepting and kind. I never heard him talk about aches and pains of sitting, though as he managed the AV he had to move back and forth from a cross legged position to kneeling and back to his...  more

    It was a pleasure to live right down the street from Jonathan for many years. For me, he will always be the "leaf guy," because it felt like he was raking the leaves from those giant trees around his house for the majority of the year! He will be missed.

    I was a friend of Jonathan's through SIMS. He was always kind, gentle, helpful and humble, no pretense. It was a privilege to know him and I miss his beautiful presence in our sangha.

    Jonathan was so many things --- sweet, smart, fun-loving -- but I will always remember him for his unfailing kindness. Over the years, our times spent together on family adventures often resulted in Aidan being the odd man out, since Irene and Kayleigh...  more

    Rick Rhoads asked that I share some of his memories of Jonathan. They spent over 32 full days together sailing the Cassandra.

    " Jonathan was the best shipmate anyone could have. We sailed a small boat 80 miles from Seattle to Orcas Island every...  more
