Mark Edward Muro, Scranton, died Saturday at home.

Born 1991 in Scranton, he was the son of Susan Smith Muro of Scranton and the late Ronald G. Muro who died in 2005.  He was a 2009 graduate of Scranton High School, attended Lackawanna College and was currently attending the Fortis Institute. 

Mark, known to some of his friends as “Marcus”, was a loving son and brother. He was always walking somewhere, but especially enjoyed walking to Nay Aug Park and spending time in nature. He was a devoted, caring and supportive friend to many, many people. He was always entertaining, making up stories, doing impressions and magic tricks, and telling jokes. He could do “the worm” better than anyone! A dedicated football fan, his favorite team was the Philadelphia Eagles and he was always ready to play a pick up game with his friends. He loved his pets Tigger, Benny and Maggie. He enjoyed video games and movies and listened to all types of music . He was an avid writer and hoped to sell his writing as song lyrics. He will be forever missed by his friends and family.

Abington Twp;  aunts Carol Richards and her companion Daniel Geng of Shohola and Corinne Inman and her husband John of Endicott, NY; cousins;  numerous friends.

In addition to his father he was also preceded in death by paternal grandfather Edward Muro and maternal grandfather Marshall H. Smith.

    Mark was a caring and great man. He enjoyed videos games and it would show when he came over my house and beat Metal Gear Solid 4 overnight. But his talents didn’t end at the controller. He was a profound writer, and his poems touched my heart. He was a talented actor, and I will cherish the day I met him when he played a leadig role as Tommy Smith in the “the Case of Tommy Smith vs. Jimmy Hall”. I sincerely and warmly send my condolences to the people who cared for Mark and most importantly his loving family. He will forever live in my heart. RIP Tommy Smith

    Dear Sue: I did not have the pleasure of knowing your beautiful son. But the words I read in the newspaper sound like he was an inspiration to all. I thought I would let you know I am thinking of you and your family. You are a wonderful mother. If you feel like talking just give me a call. Love and God bless you,my prayers are with you.
