Mark Anthony Garmon

Mark Anthony Garmon, lovingly known as “Pancho,” “Pappy,” and “MG,” passed away peacefully on June 10, 2026, at the age of 65. A resident of Buford, GA, Mark was born on December 14, 1960, in Atlanta, GA, and lived a life marked by devotion to his family, faith, country, and community.

Mark proudly served his country in the United States Army before pursuing a career in the legal field. He earned an Associate Degree in Paralegal Studies from Gwinnett College and worked as a paralegal with Rubin Lublin, LLC from 2011 until 2026. His professionalism, dedication, and willingness to help others earned him the respect and friendship of colleagues throughout his career.

A faithful Baptist, Mark was a member of Hebron Baptist Church, where he found strength in his faith and fellowship with others. He was a proud patriot who loved his family deeply and was known for his caring, thoughtful, and joyful spirit. Those who knew him will remember his quick wit, his ability to make people laugh, and the genuine concern he showed for others. Mark never missed an opportunity to check in on family and friends and was always ready to offer support, encouragement, or a smile.

Mark found joy in many hobbies and interests, including collecting knives and bobbleheads, following minor league baseball, and cheering on the Georgia Bulldogs. Whether sharing stories, attending games, or spending time with loved ones, he embraced life with enthusiasm and gratitude.

Above all else, Mark was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend. He loved his family unconditionally and created a home filled with laughter, support, and love. His family describes him as an incredible husband, father, and grandfather whose presence made everyone feel cherished and secure.

Mark was preceded in death by his father, Arnold Canada Garmon, and his mother, Norma Elizabeth Garmon. He is survived by his beloved wife, Donna Garmon; daughter, Deana Marr (Stuart); daughter, Whitney Goyen (Drew); son, Alex Garmon (Meagan); grandchildren, Colton Garmon, Aubree Garmon, Logan Goyen, and Liam Goyen; sisters, Alecia Garmon, Sharon Trotman (Mike), and Arlene Dawson (Barry); brothers, Randall Garmon (Mary), David Garmon (Teresa), and Kenneth Garmon (Marsha); mother-in-law, Betty Harper; sister-in-law, Marilee Brambley (Rich); brother-in-law, Barry Shealey (Lorraine); and many beloved nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends.

A visitation will be held at Hebron Baptist Church in Dacula, GA, on Saturday, June 27, 2026, at 1:00 pm., followed by a celebration of Mark’s life at 2:00 pm.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial contributions be made to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta or to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital; causes that were close to Mark’s heart.

Though he will be deeply missed, Mark’s legacy of love, laughter, faith, and unwavering devotion to family will live on in the hearts of all who knew him. His kindness, humor, and generous spirit will be remembered and cherished forever.
