Mark Edward Gobble, 37, of Austin, Texas, died on Monday, June 10, 2012. He was born on June 11, 1974 in Jacksonville, Florida to Edward (Eddie) M. and Diane D. Gobble.
Mark is survived by his wife, Leslie Hussey; two children, Trent E. Gobble and Shanna E. Gobble; mother, Diane Gobble; sister, Dee Dee Fenwick and husband Billy Fenwick; sister-in-law, Barbara Hussey and husband Jackson Busenbark; niece, Brooke Fenwick Downing; nephews, Trey Fenwick, Preston Busenbark, Royce Busenbark; mother and father-in-law, Dave and Hester Hussey; godparents, Georgia Isaac and Jerry Isaac.
Mark graduated from the Florida School for the Deaf and Blind. He went on to receive a Bachelor's Degree from Gallaudet University in 1997 and a MEd from the University of North Florida. He also received an MS and EdS in Education from Gallaudet University and a PhD from the University of Texas in 2012.
He became a history teacher at the Texas School for the Deaf in 2001, and eventually became an Associate Principal and Principal at the HS department at TSD. He was about to begin a new job as Associate Professor at the Center for the Study of Communication and the Deaf at Boston University.
He had just launched MARK Skateboards, a successful company that sold custom boards. The company was a celebration of his personality, and it was a way to express his ideas and spirit to a world that he loved. In addition to his myriad academic pursuits, he was an organizer of TEDxIslay, a TED event that brought together thinkers and doers in the deaf community. He was an inspiration to many in his close-knit community.
Mark had many interests but his number one passion was to his family and his friends. He was a wonderful husband and father, a teacher, and a mentor. He was a climber of mountains, and he took the courageous step of leaving a successful career behind in order to conquer greater challenges.
A Memorial service will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, June 14, 2012 at Mercury Hall, 615 Cardinal Lane. Seating and parking will be limited at the memorial. Please try to carpool and dress appropriately for heat. Overflow attendance will be outside.
