Mark Robert Katz
On Sunday, April 25, 2021, Mark Robert Katz, loving husband, brother and uncle passed away at age 58. Mark lived larger than life. An entrepreneur, Mark balanced his professional time between Children’s Clothing, Real Estate and Mardi Gras novelties. The smile on his face and spring to his step were no match for his generous heart. Everyone he met was family. Whether a blood relative or stranger, Mark was quietly charitable. Sensitive, he was keenly aware of the need around him. For Mark, giving was his way of getting ahead in life. Mark’s love of retail fashion began in his early teens as a top selling salesman at Danny’s Menswear at age 15. He continued his passion for clothing with his beloved wife Patricia, creating designer children’s fashion over the next 35 years. Mark was an LSU graduate. For most, college is a time of finding yourself. For Mark, it was a time of finding others. Robert Jackson is a perfect example. He was Mark’s “Little Buddy.”
