It is with heavy hearts that we announce the untimely passing of our cherished friend, Mark Oesau, on October 26th. Mark was a devoted father to his son, Gibson, and a loving husband to his wife, Lisa. His love for family and friends was boundless, and he touched the lives of everyone he encountered.

Mark was a proud Navy veteran, and his love for music was just as unwavering as his dedication to his service. Mark loved playing his guitar in front of a crowd and was a devoted KISS fan. He was always sharing his passion for music with those around him.

As a dedicated coach of Pomperaug Lacrosse and Football, Mark was a constant presence on the field—never missing a practice or game. His unwavering support and belief in his players inspired them to reach for their dreams, often speaking of the kids as if they were all destined for greatness. Mark's passion for mentoring young athletes extended beyond the sport—instilling the values of hard work, perseverance, and integrity in their lives.

Mark's legacy is one of inspiration, encouragement, and community. He challenged us all to be better individuals and to cherish the moments we share with those we love.

In light of this profound loss, we have established a GoFundMe campaign to support Lisa and Gibson during this unimaginable time. Our goal is to alleviate some of the financial burdens they may face in the dark days ahead. Any contribution, no matter how small, will be greatly appreciated as we come together to honor Mark's memory and support his family.
