Mark Monroe Wilbur, 74, of Reston, Virginia, passed away suddenly on Friday, October 16, 2020. A man of science and heart, he donated his skin to others in need. Mark graduated cum laude in Electrical Engineering from the University of Maryland in 1968 and retired from Lockheed Martin in 2010 after serving on his proudest project, the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.
Mark loved his family above all else. He was forever determined to make sure his loved ones enjoyed life, seeking every opportunity to show his daughter Katie the world and spending cherished hours with his grandsons. The University of Maryland held a special place in Mark’s heart; in 2018, he was honored as a Golden Terp Engineer at his 50th reunion at the A. James Clark School of Engineering.
Mr. Wilbur is survived by his daughters Katie, Erin, and Kelly; his grandchildren Luke, Rex, Ry, and Blaze; his sister Laura, and a loving extended family of nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, Glenmore and June.
