Remembering Mark Spitzer
Donation protected
There are times in life that are too tragic for words and too hard to bear. On Thursday, July 30th, 2020 that chapter started for people all over the globe when Mark Steven Spitzer tragically lost his life in a water accident. It was a sunny day in Hong Kong, and Mark had decided to spend it in nature with his wife, son and loving friends.
Mark lived life to the fullest. He wasn't afraid of new challenges, new frontiers, new circles. Mark graduated from Wisconsin-Madison and embarked on a career in finance starting on the NYMEX floor and rising to Head of Equities Derivatives Sales for APAC at Goldman Sachs. He met his wife Valeriya in Singapore in 2010. Together they moved to Hong Kong in 2012 and had their baby Damian Lev Spitzer in 2019. Mark was the most generous, entertaining and brilliant man and had built a beautiful life for himself. He was a loving son, a supportive sibling, a doting husband, a proud father and the best friend you could wish for.
Two funds are being set up in his memory: (1) an Education Fund for Damian and (2) a Charitable fund for The Nesbitt Center. Mark felt passionate about the work of the Nesbitt Center, empowering adults with learning disabilities. At Nesbitt, Mark was a sponsor to Vicky, and he loved to attend her piano recitals and frequented the cafe where she works. You can read more about the Nesbitt Center on https://www.nesbittcentre.org.hk/.
Mark will be dearly missed, never forgotten.
