Mark G Warnick of Rochester, NY – On Tuesday July 28, 2020, at the age of 64, Mark passed away surrounded by his loving family after a courageous battle with Multiple Sclerosis.
He is predeceased by his Father Edward E. Warnick and his Mother Doris M. Warnick. Mark is survived by his lifelong friend and soulmate Rhonda L Warnick; his daughters Samantha L Warnick and Caitlin M Warnick; brother Phillip T Warnick (MaryAnn), sister Pamela St John (Randy); grandson Cameron L Warnick; nephews Tyler Moyer and Ryan Moyer; niece Nicole Warnick; many cousins and friends. Mark was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, Uncle and friend.
Mark had a passion for the 1000 Islands and he visited the region as often as possible until he was no longer able to do so. Mark enjoyed fishing, boating, Go Kart racing, auto racing, tennis, golf, racquetball, muscle cars, antiques and coin collecting throughout his lifetime. But nothing compared to his love for his family.
Mark’s calming presence, sense of humor and his humility made the lives of all who knew him better. We will be forever grateful for his constant displays of kindness, thoughtfulness, devotion, integrity and good humor.
Due to current health restrictions there will be no services at this time. A memorial service and interment will be held at a later date to be determined by the family. For those wishing to make a donation in Mark’s honor please consider the following:

Already miss you my brother. Forever RIP. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️
My most sincere condolences, I went to school with Mark from the younger years up to high school. He was a fun loving, kind human being. He will be missed. Love and Respects to all his family and loved ones.
I will miss our talks every week Mark. Boy, didn’t we have some serious political conversations.? Miss you and love you.
He will be missed by classmates of Brockport High School Class of ’74 and ’75 and the many many Brockport friends he gathered over the years. My heart breaks for his family. He put up a hard struggle against that devastating MS disease and hoped there would be a cure till his very last days. Rest in Peace dear friend. We will have happier, healthier days once together on the other side. 💞
Rhonda, Caitlin, Samantha

Dad- there are no words to express how grateful I am that i was raised by you and mom. You are by far the best man I’ve ever known. You did EVERYTHING in your power to always make sure me cait mom and cam were happy healthy and well taken care of. Your love for us went above and beyond any love any of us have ever known. you raised us to be prideful, strong and independent. and you always put us before yourself, even untill the very end. My memory of you will always be that of how strong you were, how proud you were of your family, and how much YOU LOVED US. thank you for all the funny memories, and rest assured i will tell my children someday all about their witty, funny grandpa❤ untill we meet again Dad.

Our condolences to the entire family on Mark’s passing. As long time neighbors we had a window into some of the many challenges Mark faced in his life. Somehow he was still quick with a smile or a friendly greeting. We recognized that was a very small glimpse into Mark’s strength as a person.
Samantha & Caitlin your Dad was an amazing guy!
Oh yeah he also liked grey Volvo station wagons. From a guy who has loved red mini vans for years, I can relate to his ability to take a little abuse.
May Mark rest peace & all of you find peace💗
Rest in Peace Mark 🙏 No longer will you suffer. You’re in God’s hands now .Take Care Cousin.🙏See you on the other side.
Rhonda, Samantha, Caitlin,
My heartfelt sympathy goes out to you and the girls. May Mark Rest In Peace and may God give you strength.
Much love, Carol
Our sincere condolences to the family. May Mark rest in eternal peace.

I’m so sorry for your loss Rhonda Sam and Caitlin. Mark was one of the good ones. I’ll miss our talks on things we loved. I’m sad that he is no longer with us but happy that he will suffer no more. Peace be with you all.
I’m so sorry for your loss Rhonda and family. May Mark rest in peace. The Warnicks were our childhood friends living on 31
So sorry to learn of your loss Rhonda. My prayers are with you and the kids.
Mark was a great guy and fun to be around. I had him in one of my study halls and can remember him cutting weight for wrestling. We had some good laughs, knew him, like Lenny, since our younger days through high school. Even though we were not close friend, it breaks my heart, classmates are so special, it just tears me up. I pray to God I see him in heaven and we can make trouble.
Dad, so much has changed since we lost you but I want you to know we will be okay in time. I have to be honest, i feel this empty void in my life in the place of where you used to be. You were my rock, my biggest supporter, ,& you always loved me for who I really am, every flaw included.
I feel the greatest sense of loss through losing you that I’ve ever felt in my life. When I lost you I truly feel like I lost a part of myself as well. I find peace in knowing your no longer in pain and no longer suffering, (even though we never heard you complain ONCE.) You fought harder and were stronger than anyone I’ve ever met. You not only took care of yourself in a situation most people wouldn’t have been able to, but you took care of us too. You always put us first.
It hurts knowing you wont meet your first granddaughter , Gabriella, but she will know her grandfather through the stories I tell, through the pictures I’ll show her, the memories I’ll share with her, all the hilarious and fun times we had together and most of all through the morals I instill in her. There’s no doubt in my mind that your here with us, guiding us, and watching over us. My children have gained their very own guardian angel.
I miss you dad. I’ll see you again one day, until then I’ll continue to make you proud and keep you close to my heart. I love you.
To Pam,
Over the years have thought of you often. So sorry for the loss of your brother.

A very old friend from our horse days,
