The Shrewsbury community is mourning the passing of Mark “Sparky” Price of Heath Farm, who died peacefully on August 23, 2026, at Severn Hospice at the age of 66. His death has brought sadness to family, friends, neighbours, and others whose lives were touched by his presence.

Mark was remembered as a much-loved member of his family and community, with those closest to him now reflecting on the memories and moments that made his life meaningful. His passing marks the end of a life that was deeply connected to the people around him and the place he called home.

Known affectionately as “Sparky,” Mark leaves behind a family who will feel his absence profoundly. He was a loving husband to Jan and a proud father to Kev and Dan. His role within his family was one of the most important parts of his life, and the memories created with those closest to him will remain significant in the years ahead.

For families facing the loss of a loved one, grief often arrives through the smallest details of everyday life. Familiar conversations, shared routines, family occasions, and memories of time spent together can suddenly take on a different meaning. For Mark’s loved ones, these memories will now form an important part of remembering the man they knew and loved.

His peaceful passing at Severn Hospice followed a period in which he received care and support. Hospices play an important role in helping patients and families through difficult stages of illness, providing care focused on comfort and dignity while supporting relatives during an emotionally challenging time.

Mark’s connection to Heath Farm also forms part of the story of his life. Communities such as Shrewsbury are built around longstanding relationships, familiar faces, and people whose presence becomes woven into everyday life. Losing someone who has been part of that environment can therefore be felt well beyond the immediate family.

Those who knew Mark will now have their own memories of him to carry forward. Whether through family gatherings, conversations, shared experiences, or ordinary moments that once seemed unremarkable, those memories can become especially valuable following a loss.

At 66, Mark had spent decades building relationships and creating a life around the people and community that mattered to him. His death leaves a significant void for Jan, his sons Kev and Dan, other relatives, friends, and everyone who knew him.

Details surrounding Mark’s life beyond his family and connection to Heath Farm have not been widely reported, and his loved ones remain the best source for the stories and personal memories that truly capture who he was.

His passing has nevertheless made clear how deeply he was loved. The sadness surrounding his death reflects the relationships he built throughout his years and the people who will continue to remember him.

As family and friends come to terms with the loss, they will carry forward the memories of Mark “Sparky” Price and the years they shared with him. His life was defined not simply by the number of years he lived, but by the people who knew him, loved him, and now face the difficult task of moving forward without him.

The Shrewsbury community joins his family in remembering a 66-year-old man whose presence mattered to those around him and whose absence will be deeply felt.
