Story
More than just a man, Mark Mellinger has always been a pillar of kindness, strength, and wisdom to our family and the greater San Diego region. Whether you've encountered him through family ties, his dedicated service in the Coast Guard, his professional endeavors at AT&T and Sunrise, or as a fellow graduate of Crawford High School's class of 1966, Mark has consistently exemplified a commitment to uplifting others. His unwavering dedication to his wife, children, and grandchildren is complemented by his extensive volunteer work with the Coast Guard, various veteran associations, and the San Diego Zoo, where his heart and generosity have left an indelible mark on countless lives. Last month, Mark Mellinger was diagnosed with cancer and is now being placed in hospice care at his residence. Mark has always been the backbone of our family, providing unwavering support and guidance. Now it’s time for us to stand by him. If you’re open to spending some time visiting or sharing a meal, any bit of kindness would significantly impact him and our family. Mark always preaches, "It's who you are, not what you are," so thank you for taking the time to learn who Mark Mellinger is and considering spending some quality time with our family. Your time and kindness mean the world to us. With heartfelt gratitude, The Mellinger's
