Mark Richard Andre

OAKLAND – Mark Richard Andre, 56, passed away March 3, 2026, surrounded by the memories of a life filled with adventure, curiosity, and connection with others. Born in Doylestown, Pa., Mark spent much of his life between Pennsylvania and Cudjoe Key; places he loved deeply.

Mark was the proud father of Cassidy, Mark Jr., and Jason, and a stepfather to Trenton. He loved watching his sons play hockey, attending his children’s activities, and encouraging each of them to pursue their passions.

A man of many talents and interests, Mark ran a charter fishing business called The Grouch Charters in his early years and commercially lobster dove in the Florida Keys, where he proudly considered himself a local in Key West. At Thornridge Farms in Fairfield, Maine, he grew Christmas, shade, and ornamental trees and later transformed the property into the “Angry Lobster” disc golf course so others could enjoy its natural beauty.

Mark was known for his intelligence, strong opinions, and lively conversations about history and politics. He once ran for Maine House of Representatives and the Maine Senate to represent his district. He loved genealogy research and science fiction.

Mark had an easy ability to make friends wherever he went—whether at his morning coffee shop, on an airplane, or while traveling on cruises. He enjoyed listening to the Grateful Dead, relaxing with a Diet Pepsi, and ending the day with music playing in his truck.

He will be remembered for his adventurous spirit, sharp mind, sense of humor, and the love he had for his family. Mark will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Mark was predeceased by his father Thomas Andre and brothers Thomas Andre Jr. and Raymond Andre.

Mark is survived by fiancée Leanne Clark; children Cassidy Andre, Mark Andre Jr, Jason Andre and their mother Holly Andre, as well as stepson Trenton Clark; his mother Frances Andre; brothers John Andre, Michael Andre, Steven Andre, and sister Rae Andre.

Burial was held March 13, 2026, at Doylestown Cemetery in Doylestown, Pa.

A Celebration of Life details will be announced at a later date.
