Mark Patrick Cassidy, 57, a resident of Tullahoma, TN passed away Thursday morning January 4, 2024 at St. Tammany Parish Hospital. He was home for the holidays visiting with family and enjoying time in the outdoors. Mark worked as an electrical technician in the offshore industry for several years but his true passion was always fishing. He loved being on the water kayaking or boating and most definitely dropping a line in any river or creek he could find, or even going out into the Gulf of Mexico when he lived on the Texas coast. Mark also enjoyed hiking, camping, searching for arrowheads and deer hunting. He was an excellent cook, especially delicious gumbo, jambalaya and outdoor Bar-B-Que. He will be forever, sadly missed by all his loved ones.
