With solemn hearts, we announce the passing of Mark A. Converse (Elmhurst, Illinois), whose presence will be deeply missed. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.

As we bid Mark farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Mark is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.

He was loved and cherished by many people including: his spouse Erin Converse; his children, Claire and Meredith Converse; his parents, Patricia Parisi and Bert Converse (Pat); his sisters, Angela Margelos (Sam) and Nancy Schlegel (Darryl); and his father-in-law Richard Allison (Carolyn).
