AUSTIN - Mr. Mark Anthony Britan passed from this life Sunday, August 22, 2021, in Austin.

Mark was born October 21, 1966, in Texas City to Alexander and Sybil (Doyle) Britan, Sr. He was in the 1985 graduating class of La Marque High school and continued his education at Texas State University in San Marcos where he earned his bachelor’s degree in sociology and graduated Cum Lade. His education allowed him to help countless people through the State of Texas social services department. Mark knew the importance of education and continued to take classes throughout his career. He excelled in his language classes and became bi-lingual in Spanish. Mark loved to get out of his comfort zone. He traveled to other countries as much as he could - immersing himself in the culture.

Mark’s last trip has taken him to a glorious destination, and we’ll be so happy when we can see him there one day.

He was preceded in death by his father, Alexander S. Britan, Sr.; sister, Annette Britan.
