Mark R. Stambaugh, Sr., 81, of Middletown, entered into eternal rest early Friday, June 21, 2024. Mark was born Tuesday, April 27, 1943, in Breezewood, PA to the late Rev. John and Rhoda (Becker) Stambaugh.

Mark spent his early years as an altar boy in his father’s church and as a helping hand to any neighbor who needed it. Mark joined the Air Force after graduating high school wherein he became a jet engine mechanic for the duration of the Vietnam War. Upon returning home, Mark worked a slew of odd jobs until he started Stambaugh Aviation, a culmination of his life’s work and greatest passions.

Mark will be remembered for his generous and tenacious spirit, his absurdly sharp and hilarious wit, and his curious nature that he held right up until the end. He was the greatest grandpa in the whole world.

Mark is survived by his 2 sons, Mark R. Stambaugh, Jr. and wife Emelia, and Scott A. Stambaugh and wife Audrey of Brunswick, GA; 6 granddaughters, Kyra and Serena Rizk of Middletown, and Lydia, Nicole, Jacqueline, Christina Stambaugh of Brunswick, GA. He was preceded in death by his daughter, Lori S. Rizk and his loving wife of 53 years, Rae E. Stambaugh.

The family wishes to extend their thanks to the staff and physicians of the Penn State Hershey Medical Center for the tremendous work that they do.
