Virginia Beach- Mark S. Barbee, 69, March 4, 1955 – February 26, 2025 of Kempsville, VA passed away on Wednesday 2/26/2025 in Virginia Beach.

Mark graduated from Kempsville High School as a star state wrestler and went on to graduate from Averett College and then retired from UPS after 25 years of service.

Deeper Life Church, Norfolk, VA is a very small congregation. Mark came to one of our services about a year. From there, he became one of our faithful members. It was an honor to have him worship with us. We were all so heart broken to hear of his passing. We saw such a beautiful transformation in Mark. He became that inspiration many people often need. May God rest his soul for eternity. We pray for comfort and peace for his family and friends. Thank you.

I'm so sorry to hear of Marks passing. I cut Marks hair for at least the last 25 years. We shared many family events and stories. He was my go to guy when ever I needed work done in the salon. I will miss seeing him may he rest in peace.
