Mark Anthony DiStaulo, (Pappa D), 66, of Litchfield, Ohio passed away peacefully 12:06 a.m. on Friday, February 21, 2025.
Mark was born April 8, 1958 in Cleveland, Ohio to the late Michael and Mary Jane (Granno) Di Staulo. He has resided in Litchfield for many years.
Mark was a retired Chef and enjoyed spending time with his family.
He will be greatly missed by his wife Martina (Patti) Di Staulo, married 43 years. Sons, Mark Joseph and Michael DiStaulo. Daughters, Mary DiStaulo, Kathyrn (nee Brine) DiStaulo and granddaughter, Isabella DiStaulo, and his inherited sons, Tony Brich, Jeremy Bland and Bryan Folkman. Also survived by his siblings, Michael, Marietta and Mario DiStaulo, nieces and nephews.
Mark was preceded in death by a beloved grandson, Junior DiStaulo.
He was the kind of man who led by example—strong, kind and always willing to lend a hand or share a laugh. Whether it was life advice, a story from his past or just a simple moment of friendship, he made a lasting impact on many lives. His kindness and love for people will never be forgotten. His penchant for his wonderful, fanciful stories will be missed by many.
The world will be a sad place without him. In accordance with his wishes, Mark did not want a wake or funeral.
The Bauer Funeral Home, Valley City, Ohio has the honor of serving the DiStaulo family.
