Mark Edward St. Vincent passed away on July 17, 2025 in Duluth, Minnesota at the age of 71. Mark was a resident of Orlando, Florida and enjoyed summer vacations at his family cabin on Lake Vermilion. Mark was born in Chicago, Illinois on May 16, 1954. He was the second eldest son of John W. St. Vincent and Bette N. Landswick both of Hibbing, MN. His father moved the family to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1968 because of a job transfer with U. S. Steel.
Mark graduated from Duquesne University in Pittsburgh with a degree in Accounting and began his long career with Westinghouse Corporation in 1981 which later became Siemens Power Generation. Over the years he held many positions with the company and traveled to many exotic places. Toward the end of his career he held the position of Senior Contracts Manager for Siemens Power Generation and was a well respected leader among his peers during many negotiations leading to substantial business for the organization. Mark retired in 2019 and began traveling the world with his wife and even sometimes went alone on his Harley Davidson motorcycle to the mountains of North Carolina and Georgia on camping trips, where he met very interesting people along the way and would share many stories around the campfire. Mark could be found riding on the Dragon in North Carolina with his beloved classic rock blaring loudly in the wind.
Mark was an excellent snow skier and enjoyed many ski vacations with his family and
friends in Colorado, Montana, Utah and even his northeast skiing favorite of Seven
Springs, Pennsylvania where he learned to ski in his youth. Mark served for many years as a board member for the Oxford Park Homeowners Association and helped his neighbors care for the community. He loved bicycling on his E-bike on the many trails near Orlando and camping with his family in the state and national parks. He taught his son Reed all the basics of outdoor activities and helped Reed achieve the highest rank of Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts of America. He also loved attending live music concerts with family and friends and traveling to see his beloved Pittsburgh Steelers play. Many friends described Mark as the coolest guy they knew.

partner of 40 years Norma St. Vincent of Orlando, Florida, his son Reed E. St. Vincent
