Mark always had a joyful attitude towards his family and friends and a real passionate rooting interest in his beloved Philadelphia Eagles and Flyers. He thoroughly enjoyed shooting range, golf, firearms, trucks, mechanical devices, horsepower and cherished the time he spent with his many best friends most notably Richard Degre and Andy Rosenberger.

Mark was a professional builder for most of his life and produced many houses and camps and barns during his life. He worked at Poulin Lumber in Derby for several decades right up until the time of his untimely demise. Mark had recently built a large garage at his home in Westfield which served as a headquarters for family gatherings, super bowl parties, Halloween events and other gatherings with good friends, of which he had many. He had real love for the John Deere brand which is made in America and touched Mark's patriotic side. He loved his many years being a part of the Troy Fire Department.

His loss will be felt for a long time as he touched many people with his welcoming spirit and giving personality. He was always there for his friends and family and that will be impossible to duplicate as we all say goodbye.

When the phrase was written "only the good die young" they had Mark Veilleux in mind. We will carry on as he would have wanted but with a heavy heart backed by fond memories which we hope will provide us with strength through this difficult time.

Services will be held on Saturday October 5th at 3pm at Curtis Britch Funeral Home on Darling Hill. In lieu of flowers please make donations to the Troy Fire Department or Newport Ambulance Service.
