Obituary of Mark Bayne Foster

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Mark Bayne Foster at his beloved cottage on July 15 in his 41st year. Mark was an immensely proud and devoted father to his daughter Mya Elizabeth. He will be lovingly remembered by his partner Amber and her daughter Sofia. The memories we made with Mark will always be cherished by his mother Kathy, father Bob (Donna), sisters Hawley (Rob) and Laura (Matt) and stepbrothers Will and Connor. He was an adoring uncle that shared a special bond with his nephews Cooper, Carter, and Crosby and nieces Abby and Emma. Mark was an avid fisherman who loved nothing more than trolling every corner of the lake looking for the best spots. We can all take solace in the fact that Mark was in one of his favourite places in the world when he was called home. He was always adventurous and independent, loves travelling, and developed a successful self-made contracting business recently after years spent training employees for some of the largest restaurant brands in Canada. Mark is going to be sadly missed by countless other family members and friends he made over the years.In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Canadian Heart & Stroke Foundations, Ontario Federation of Anglers & Hunters, or the Canadian Diabetes Association would be appreciated by the family._________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________In light of the current pandemic situation, the family will be holding a private service to commemorate Mark's life.
