Mark Andrew Lamberski

It is with great sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of Mark Andrew Lamberski of Wayne, NJ from a sudden heart attack on Thursday May 11, 2023. Mark was only 54.

Mark was born in Passaic, NJ on August 1, 1968 to Edwin and Christine Lamberski. He has one younger sister, Amy. He attended St. Philip the Apostle Preparatory school in Clifton, NJ until 1980, when his family moved to Wayne, NJ. He finished his elementary education at Our Lady of the Valley School in Wayne and went on to graduate from Don Bosco Technical High School in Paterson, NJ. After high school, Mark enlisted in the United States Air Force and earned an honorable discharge in 1988.

In 1992, Mark fathered his only son, Mark (Markie) Ruiz. He adored his son and worked long hours to provide for him, first as an Equipment Manager at Verizon Wireless and later as a Manager at Radio Shack.

Those who knew Mark speak fondly of his enormous heart, kind spirit, generosity, humor and unwavering love of his family. Mark was selfless, consistently putting the needs of his family and friends ahead of his own. He was a great lover of animals and found much joy in spending time with his many furry companions over the years, including Sooty, Cecil, Kitty, Molly and Pippi, to name a few. He was an extraordinary person who touched many lives and will be missed by all of those who were blessed to have known him.

Mark is survived by his son, Mark Ruiz of Wayne, NJ; his mother Christine (Snyder) Lamberski of Wayne, NJ; his father Edwin Lamberski and his wife Maryann Lamberski of Cape Coral FL; his sister Amy Herlihy and her husband Donagh Herlihy of St. Petersburg, FL; his nephews Sam Herlihy of Boston, MA and Kieran Herlihy of St. Petersburg, FL; his step-sisters Deborah Valanzola of Flanders, NJ and Michele Gowing and her husband Pete Gowing of Randolph, NJ; and many loving aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and friends. He was predeceased by his grandparents Christine Snyder, Wilfred (Bud) Snyder, Kasimer (Casey) Lamberski and Sophie Lamberski.

Flowers are welcome, or those that wish to honor Mark’s memory may make a donation in his name to a charity of their choice.
