Dr. Mark Peter Scott

Mark Peter Scott, age 62, passed away unexpectedly at his home in Pensacola, Florida, on May 31, 2025. Born on December 20, 1962, in Chicago, Illinois, Mark was a beloved husband, father, father-in-law, grandfather, brother, son, and friend. He spent his life devoted to the people he loved, especially his wife, Patricia (Patty). The two met as teenagers, began dating soon after, and never looked back—recently celebrating 39 wonderful years of marriage. Together, they built a life rooted in love, laughter, and family. Mark was the proud father of his daughter, Christine, and his son, Ryan. To his family, he was their rock—the one they turned to for comfort, strength, and warmth. His laugh was one of a kind, his hugs made the world feel safe, and his presence brought a sense of peace that will be deeply missed. Professionally, Mark dedicated over 29 years to serving the Pensacola community as a highly respected Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Disorders physician. His passion for medicine was matched only by his compassion for people, and he touched countless lives through his work. Outside of medicine, Mark lived with curiosity and joy. He was a loyal Florida Gators fan, a Parrothead, an avid photographer, a traveler at heart, and a lover of birds and all things sea-related. Whether he was crafting a homemade tiki cocktail, listening to Jimmy Buffett, or watching a sunset on the water, Mark embraced the moments that made life sweet. He is survived by his loving wife, Patty; his children, Christine (Michael) Paulzak and Ryan (Stihlyn) Scott; his cherished grandson, Leo; his mother, Sue Ellen Scott; his siblings, Jacqueline Borello, Steven Scott, and Jeffrey Scott; and many nieces, nephews, lifelong friends, and colleagues who will forever carry his memory in their hearts. “So, when the journey gets long, just know that you are loved, there is light up above, and the joy is always enough. Bubbles up, Mark, bubbles up.” Family and friends are welcome to join in remembering and honoring Mark’s life. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, June 21, 2025, at Faith Chapel Funeral Home North, located at 1000 S Hwy 29, Cantonment, FL 32533. • Visitation will begin at 12:00 p.m. Central Time • Service will begin at 1:00 p.m. Central Time • A reception will follow immediately after the service at the same location
