Mr. Mark S. Shablesky, 66, of Koppel went home to his heavenly Father on Thursday, August 19, 2021. He was born on May 16, 1955 to the late Francis and Margaret (Andrew) Shablesky in Ellwood City.
He had graduated from Beaver Falls High School with the class of 1973, and was a member of the former Queen of Heaven Catholic Church in Koppel. He enjoyed collecting unique antiques.
Mark was a caring and loving father, brother, uncle, and friend. He loved teaching children sports skills and good sportsmanship as a soccer coach. He loved his Pittsburgh Pirates and Penguins and proudly wore their colors every day. He was a loyal and dedicated worker in the steel mills, a structural steel draftsman, oxygen maintenance and delivery man, VYN sign installer and all around maintenance man. No skill was ever too hard for him to learn and apply.
His sense of humor either left you baffled or in stiches laughing. He was truly a unique and talented person.
