On February 25, 2026, Mark Gallagher passed away suddenly, leaving behind his two beloved children, Nina and James. Mark was a devoted father, friend, teammate, colleague, son, and brother whose presence touched the lives of so many. His loss has left a deep void in the hearts of everyone who knew him, but none feel it more than his children.

Nina is currently in her freshman year at Suffolk University, embarking on her journey into adulthood and higher education. James, her younger brother, is a freshman in high school at Minnechaug, facing his own set of challenges and milestones. With Mark's unexpected passing, both Nina and James are navigating an incredibly difficult period, adjusting to life without their father's guidance and support.

This fundraiser has been created to help ease some of the burdens they now face. The funds raised will go directly toward supporting Nina and James in their educational pursuits and meeting any needs that arise as they move forward. Your generosity will provide them with stability and hope as they work through their grief and build their futures. While we cannot bring Mark back, we can come together as a community to honor his memory by supporting his children during this time of sorrow and transition. Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference. Thank you for your kindness and support.
