Mark was born to Col. David and Debra Procopio. He loved Vermont, and he enjoyed the outdoors and everything in it. He attended Burlington High School, before attending the University of Vermont settling on UVM after a few "investigatory" dry-runs at colleges elsewhere. His father will tell you that a good first glimpse into Mark's personality and outlook on life appeared somewhere in late middle school. Apparently Mark was too interested in the other, "more important" things in life and had been more than comfortable with being in the middle of the academic pack. Mark is survived by his Mother and Father Debra and Col. Procopio, his loving wife, 1st Lt. Erika Procopio, his close sister Amy Beirne, her husband Craig and their two daughters Kayla and Abigail, his maternal Grandparents Gerald and Joan LaTulippe, his paternal Grandmother Joan Procopio. He was awarded the Bronze Star for Valor, the Bronze Star Medal, Purple Heart, Meritorious Service Medal, Army Reserve Component Achievement Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Iraqi Campaign Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, Armed Forces Reserve Medal with M Device, Army Service Ribbon, Vermont Duty Ribbon, Vermont Distinguished Service Medal, the Vermont Veteran's Medal, the Combat Infantry Badge.
