Mark Christ Obituary

Mark Joseph Christ, III, 82, of Hilliard, Florida, passed away at his home July 22, 2025.
He was born June 27,1943 at the Brooklyn Naval Hospital to the late Mark Joseph Christ, Jr. and Dorothy Adele Reichert Christ. He proudly served his country in the U.S. Air Force during the Vietnam Conflict. He was a 20-year federal employee, working with the U.S. Navy. While living in Jacksonville, Florida, Mark often volunteered with The Special Olympics. In his spare time, he loved the outdoors, hunting, fishing, cruising, and traveling – especially in his RV. Mark's greatest joy in life was his family. A devoted husband, father, and grandfather, Mark centered his world around those he loved most.
He is survived by his wife of 58 years, Virginia Ann Abbot Christ; a daughter and son-in-law, Donna and Michael Kopf; a son and daughter-in-law, Michael and Nicole Christ; four grandchildren that he adored, Gabrielle Kopf, Evan Kopf, Marcus Christ and Elliott Christ; and a sister and brother-in-law, Judith and James Brown.
Memorialization will be by cremation. A celebration of life will be held this fall with his family and friends in Maryland. Condolences may be expressed by signing the guest registry at www.shepardrobersonfh.com. Shepard-Roberson Funeral Home, Folkston, Ga., is honored to serve the Christ family.
