Born in New Glasgow, on September 10, 1959, he was a son of the late George and Dorothy (Mahoney) Weatherbie, of Westville.

Mark was employed as an ice plant operator at the Ivor MacDonald Memorial Rink, Thorburn, especially enjoying the little children learning to skate. Mark had many hobbies, some of which included reading, writing, as well as collecting models. He was also a technology buff who cherished his computers and video games. In his down time, and relaxed moments, he loved to watch his favourite television programs while indulging in his preferred snacks.
