Mark David Strausberg

February 12, 1974 - September 29, 2019

The Strausberg family announces with great sadness the passing of Mark David, age 45, who died at home in Farmington Hills on September 29, 2019, due to complications from a long illness. Beloved son of Connie and Daniel and loving partner of Lisa Robbins and her son Bobby. Dear brother of Steven, Erika (Matthew) Mitchell and Timothy (Vanessa), and proud Uncle of Ivy, Tobias, Nola and Morgan. Mark is survived by his aunts Patti Durn, Nancy (Richard) Montagne, and Patricia Strausberg, and many cousins. Mark was born February 12, 1974 in Saginaw, Michigan, and was a graduate of Novi High School. Mark’s family and friends will miss his generous heart, his brilliant mind, his razor sharp wit, and his passion for animals. Mark loved to laugh and bring happiness to those he held dear. A talented self-taught chef, Mark rose to the role of Chef Partner at Flemings Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar and served as executive chef at other restaurants in the Metro Detroit area. Mark was a devoted Michigan State University football fan, and he believed in life-long learning. His devotion to learning was reflected in the range of his culinary skills and mastery of regional cuisines as well as his natural curiosity about the world around him. He readily absorbed knowledge from print, media, his relationships with others, and his own experiences. He was an avid reader and profoundly appreciated history, art and music. As a natural teacher, Mark relished nuanced, informed discussions or robust debates on nearly any topic. Visitation 1pm Saturday, November 2, 2019 with a memorial service to Celebrate Mark’s life at 2pm at O’Brien/Sullivan Funeral Home 41555 Grand River Novi https://www.obriensullivanfuneralhome.com/obituaries/ In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in memory of Mark to the Michigan Animal Rescue League. https://www.marleague.org/donate/memory-honor-donation/
