Mark R. Meadows, age 64, of Warsaw, passed away on Saturday, Dec. 20, 2025, at his residence.
He was born on April 1, 1961, in Belleville, N.J., to Gerry and Linda Brown Meadows. Mark married Lisa Morreale on Oct. 13, 1990, in Rochester, N.Y.
Mark's academic journey began at Penfield High School, from which he graduated in 1979. He continued his education at Alfred State College and finished at the Rochester Institute of Technology, earning a bachelor’s degree in engineering in 1984. This foundation in engineering paved the way for a successful career that spanned over a decade at Ratnik Industries during which time he earned his professional engineering license. This experience enabled him to pursue entrepreneurial ventures as partner in Innovative Snowmaking Technologies as well as co-owner of Torrent Engineering and Equipment. His contributions to the field were met with admiration and respect from colleagues and clients alike.
Beyond his professional accomplishments, Mark's life was enriched by his passions and interests. Mark’s faith and family were the center of his life. He found true joy in being with family and friends. He was a project-oriented person and enjoyed the planning, preparation and execution phases of each project – a true hands-on engineer. He spent many joyful hours traveling, skiing, and playing golf, activities that brought him immense pleasure and allowed him to create cherished memories with loved ones.
Mark was deeply committed to his faith and community. He was a parishioner at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, where he took on the important role of leading the Haiti Ministry, as well as being an usher at the church. He was involved in the Knights of Columbus, where he worked on fish fries and tootsie roll drives.
After his retirement, Mark helped the local Habitat for Humanity build homes, demonstrating his dedication to helping others and making a positive impact in his community.
Mark is survived by his beloved wife, Lisa Meadows, of Warsaw; and their children: son, Michael Meadows (Ashley), of Miami, Fla.; and daughter, Elizabeth Meadows, of Milwaukee, Wis. He also leaves behind his adored granddaughter, Martha Meadows, who brought him great joy. Mark is further survived by his brothers, John Meadows (Elaine), of Webster, N.Y.; and Tom Meadows (Jill), of Santa Clarita, Calif.; along with his sister, Karen Vandenberg (Thom), of Simi Valley, Calif. He cherished his relationships with his nieces and nephews: Melissa Meadows, Tom Meadows, Madeline Meadows, Jay Meadows, Garrett Meadows, Matthew Vandenberg and Emily Vandenberg. Mark will be deeply missed by his mother-in-law, Barbara Morreale; brother-in-law, Michael Morreale; and nephews, James Morreale and Daniel Morreale. He was preceded in death by his parents. Mark's legacy is defined by his unwavering love for his family and his selfless contributions to his community. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him, and his memory will continue to inspire those whose lives he touched.
