The Morrow Family is deeply saddened by the unexpected passing of Mark Karl Morrow on September 2, 2021.
He was born in Stuttgart, Germany on July 20, 1964. At 4 years old he moved to the US with his mother, Ursula Morrow, attending Danbury schools and graduating from Canterbury School in 1982. Always curious and mechanically inclined, Mark was excited to disassemble and reassemble whatever he could. He received his first big project on his 14th birthday: a non-operational Austin Healy Sprite, which he spent several high school years making race-ready.
In college, his fascination with the mechanical world continued. He studied Aviation Management at the Florida Institute of Technology and received his pilot's license. Thereafter, he moved to Germany to work for Lufthansa. While living in Germany, he met his wife, Dunja Morrow, and they married two years later in Danbury (1989). Mark made his family a priority, and shared his love for aviation with his family, excitedly detailing everything about the trips he took. At 49 he returned to school to fulfill one of his lifelong goals to become a certified aircraft maintenance technician. After his certification, he began teaching part-time at the same school while flying professionally.
Mark was humorous, clever, and always shared his love of nature and flying with everyone and anyone. From his awe of the mountains to the small deer that passed through his backyard, his appreciation for life was boundless. Mark was a dedicated and loving father, husband, and son. He was known for his enthusiastic spirit and will be fondly remembered by so many for his helpfulness and his readiness to lend a hand at a moment's notice. He will be sorely missed.
Mark is survived by the Morrow family including his wife Dunja, mother Ursula, children Megan and Michael, siblings Scott (Kathy), Holly (Jim), Jessica, Lisa (Ken), Donna (Jim), as well as Martin Illenseher. There will be no public service. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that contributions be made to the Mark Karl Morrow Scholarship, which will support budding aviation enthusiasts as they learn the essential skills of aircraft maintenance at the school Mark studied and taught at. Contributions can be made in the form of a check to the school:
