Marco J. DiBiase passed away April 25, 2025, at the age of 85. Born on Aug. 15, 1939, in Philadelphia, Pa., Mark lived a life dedicated to service, family and learning, often finding joy in helping others.
After his military service in the United States Army, where he served as a Radiologist for 10 years and rose to the rank of Lt. Colonel, Mark transitioned to a successful career in medicine as a partner at Michigan City Radiologists in Indiana. His journey in healthcare continued through locum tenens work, ultimately leading him to serve at the Andrews University Medical Clinic in Michigan. An alumnus of Columbia Union College, where he graduated in 1962, and Howard University School of Medicine, from which he graduated in 1966, Mark cherished the memories of his college days, often sharing stories filled with laughter and camaraderie.
His intelligence and kind spirit endeared him to many, and those who knew him would describe him as easy-going, generous and welcoming. Beyond his professional life, Mark had a passion for cars and reading, particularly enjoying historical books and newsletters on health and investment.
Mark is survived by his devoted wife, Erika DiBiase; his children, Mark-Erik DiBiase, Tonya Miller, and Stephan DiBiase; and his daughters-in-law, Sue DiBiase and Tammy DiBiase; and his son-in-law, Douglas Miller. He was a proud grandfather to Bayley Young, Madeleine Miller Berti and her husband, Alexos Berti, Dirk Miller, Natasha DiBiase, Dante DiBiase and Vienna DiBiase.
He was predeceased by his father, Marco DiBiase; his mother, Anna DiBiase; his sister, Anita Mayer; and his brothers, Frank, Vincent, and Anthony DiBiase, all of whom profoundly shaped his life.
