GOVER, Mark Ashwin Stephen Paul

GOVER, Mark Ashwin Stephen Paul

Died: 7th February 2026

At home, where he wanted to be, after an unexpected illness, on 7 February 2026.


Mark fought with courage, faith and grace until he was sadly taken from us.


Dearly loved and cherished husband and soulmate of Roberta (Bobbi). Loved father of Daniel, Elodie, Justeen, Larissa and Mallory, and much-loved stepfather of Lauren.


A treasured father-in-law to Jeremy, Tino, Dylan and Lincoln.


Adored grandfather and great-grandfather.


Dearly loved brother of Rod and Roberta (Berta), and brother-in-law of Marty and Wendy.


Mark was a clever craftsman and passionate do-it-yourselfer who loved cars and the beauty of nature.


His love, care and generosity will be treasured by so many, and he will be deeply missed.
