It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the unexpected passing of Mark L. Massa, age 50 of Lakeville, on Friday, Sept. 5, 2025 at St. Luke's Hospital. He was born on the 11th of January 1975 in Fall River, MA.

Mark was a devoted husband and best friend to his childhood sweetheart Sally-Ann (Ferreira) Massa. They built a beautiful life together full of cherished memories. He was a vigilant father and protector of his sons Mark L. Massa, Jr. and Brayden J. Massa (partner Kaya Kelly). He had two grandchildren Azula Hayes Massa and Amari Louis Massa. They were the joy of his life.

Mark was predeceased by his cherished mother, the late Arlene (St. Laurent) Massa, and his brother the late Scott A. Massa. He is survived by his father Louis S. Massa, Jr of Fall River and his sister Lori-Ann Marchand (husband Todd Marchand) of Swansea, whom he adored. He was also survived by his wonderful in-laws Manuel A. Ferreira and his wife Odilia C.

He gave back to his community in many ways including coaching youth basketball, volunteering at Camp Welch in Assonet and volunteering at his parish, St. John Neumann.

Mark was a pillar of strength for his family and friends and there was no problem he could not solve. He was incredibly hard-working and fiercely loyal. He could always be counted on to lend a hand or help someone in need at a moment's notice. He was an everyday hero to many people. He will be greatly missed by all.
