Obituary
Mark Anthony Minkoff
Mark Anthony Minkoff, 57, passed away June 14, 2015 in Orange County, California. He was born April 21, 1958 in Hawthorne, California to Don and Erna Minkoff.
He was the youngest of the three Minkoff children which included two older sisters. Mark eventually moved with his family to Newport Beach, CA where he graduated from Corona Del Mar High School.
He met his wife, Sherry (Bergstrom), while both were attending Orange Coast College and they married October 22, 1978. Early in their marriage they resided in San Francisco where Mark graduated from the California Culinary Academy and Sherry was a flight attendant for PSA.
While still living in San Francisco they welcomed their daughter and only child, Natasha Sandra, on June 1, 1987. Shortly after the birth of their daughter they relocated back to Orange County, California and settled in Coto de Caza.
Mark's love of great food and both vintage and fast cars brought many new friends into his life. To be the guest at one of Mark's wonderful meals was indeed a treat and he often donated his special culinary skills to host many special events. He loved traveling with family and friends exploring food and wine all over the world.
With great pride and loving attention he took over as the caretaker of the collection of impeccably restored vintage cars his father, Don, had cherished throughout his life. Mark also became an enthusiastic and skilled driver himself.
Mark is survived by his wife of 37 years, Sherry Minkoff of Coto de Caza; daughter and son-in-law Natasha and Kellar Harrell of Dana Point; mother, Erna Minkoff of Newport Beach; and sister, Debra Minkoff. Mark was preceded in death by his father, Don Minkoff of Newport Beach and his sister, Catherine Minkoff also of Newport Beach.
Services will be held at Our Lady Queen of Angels, 2046 Mar Vista, Newport Beach, on Monday, June 22, 2015 at 11:00am.
Mark will be laid to rest at Pacific View Memorial Park in Corona Del Mar in a private family graveside service.
The family requests that remembrances honoring Mark be made to The Joyful Child Foundation.

His daughter got married June 6, 2015, he passed June 14, 2015. I assume it's good that he didn't pass just before the wedding.
I hate these threads. |
