Mark Edward Paquette

SPRINGFIELD-September 8th Mark Paquette passed peacefully, and surrounded by family, from cancer at 59. He was the fourth child of Raymond and Marion Paquette of Holyoke. Preceded in death by his parents and sister Karen, he is survived by his sister Beth, brother Skip (Raymond, Jr.), daughter Shelly, son Jason, four grandchildren and girlfriend Luz. Mark, a very private and humble man cared deeply, though quietly, for his family. He spent most of his life in the outdoors, hunting, fishing or on his boat. He was very skilled with his hands, and we feel there was nothing he couldn’t build. He was a roofer by trade most of his life. He ended career at Chuck’s Auto Body and Towing in Chicopee. We thank Chuck for the graciousness and support he gave during his battle with cancer. He was grateful for every moment. It is of great comfort to us that he said he had lived a good life with little regret.  Avalon Life Celebration Center & Cremation Services, LLC 691 College Hwy., Southwick, MA has been entrusted with the arrangements.  www.avaloncelebrations.com
