Mark T.
Age 67, of Gibsonia, Mark passed away surrounded by his loving family on Friday, March 14, 2025. Beloved husband for 36 years of Lori (Harbison) Dougherty; Loving father of Eric (Erika), Danny, Colin and Ryan; Proud grandfather of Phynix, Luna and Meadow; Brother of David (Terri), John (Ty); son-in-law of Ruth and Robert; he was preceded in death by his mother, Virgina “Dede” and brother Paul (Elizabeth); Mark is also survived by many loving in-laws, nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews and friends.
Mark dedicated over 47 years to the craft of carpentry, building a respected career through his skill and dedication. He retired as the lead carpenter and set-up supervisor at Derse, Inc., where he was admired not only for his expertise but also for his role as a mentor, teacher, sounding board, and friend.
An outdoorsman at heart, Mark found joy in simple pleasures—gathering around a campfire with Pink Floyd playing, camping, fishing, or even just mowing the lawn. He loved sports, especially softball and cornhole, and had a passion for woodworking. Whether crafting cabinetry, headboards, cornhole boards, or custom pieces for loved ones, his artistry and craftsmanship shone through in every project.
Mark’s presence, kindness, and talent touched many lives. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

Eric, So sorry for the loss of this good man, Mark, who was a great father to you and Dan, and a good husband to Lori. So happy that you have a beautiful family and that you have done so well in life as a son, brother, husband, and father yourself. I am very happy that Mark gave so much of himself to make a good life and stable environment for everyone. He was a hero. May his memory comfort you all now and always.
To the Daugherty family, I send my deepest sympathies. I knew Mark only through my friendship with Paul. We had a few beers together in McCanns Bar where Libby tended bar. Paul always spoke highly of his brothers,especially Mark. I’m sure they are raising a ruckus in heaven . Please feel free to contact me anytime. I would like to know how everyone is doing. Again, my deepest sympathies . Steve Wesolowski.
My condolences to the Dougherty family, Mark was one of the hardest workers I have worked with. I will miss our morning chats at our bench .I still see your face as we were laughing at each other’s stories. I will miss you Mark .
I am terribly sorry to hear the news about Mark’s passing. I have fond memories of growing up with Mark and his brothers. On behalf of the McGough clan, I would like to send our thoughts and prayers to Mark’s wife, children, and the rest of the Dougherty clan during this sorrowful time.
Although Mark was my 1st cousin, distance and circumstances never allowed me the opportunity to know him or his family. I send my most sincere condolences to his wife, children, and family. Rest in peace, Mark.
We are very saddened to hear of Mark’s passing. Mark and I worked together at Custom Quality and Giltspur Exhibits. Besides work, we played organized softball. I will always remember Mark as a true professional and a good friend during my time in Pittsburgh. My sympathies go out to Lori and the entire Dougherty family.
