Mark Smith Harwick Homes

In Memoriam

By News

It is with profound sadness we share with our dearest friends and family that Mark Smith, previous Harwick Homes owner, immediate past president and board member, passed away Tuesday, February 23 after a valiant and honorable battle with Cholangiocarcinoma.

Mark was a leading member of the Harwick team since 1993, where his diligent attention to detail helped the company receive numerous national, regional and local accolades for its projects. He sincerely appreciated being with people and building lasting, enriching relationships with clients and colleagues. Mark enjoyed spending time with Vicky, his wife of more than 30 years, and daughters Paige and Taylor at the beach, restoring cars, boating, sailing, skiing, and fishing. We are grateful for the time we shared with him.

Mark will be greatly missed by everyone at Harwick Homes, and we humbly extend our deepest condolences to Vicky, Paige, Taylor, and the entire Smith family.

Remembrances may be made in the form of charitable contributions to Captains For Clean Water, 2031 Jackson St., Fort Myers, FL 33901.
