Mark John Costaregni of Florida Dies August 14

Mark John Costaregni passed away August 14th, 2024 after a courageous battle with cancer. He leaves behind his wife Holly Marie (Gyde), son Jack Daniel, and daughter Carly Rae. He was predeceased by his parents, Daniel and Rose (Bruni) Costaregni and is survived by his sister Linda (Rich) and brothers Daniel (Beth) and Patrick (Shelly) and six nieces and nephews. Mark was born in Greenwich Connecticut on April 2, 1963. His family moved to Naples Florida when he was twelve.

Mark excelled as an athlete playing football and golf at Naples High School. He went to the University of Florida. After college he played on the South American tour. In 2013 he played in the US Senior Open. Mark worked as a teaching professional at Beaver Creek, Maroon Creek, Century Country Club, The International, and most recently Atlantic Golf Club and La Gorce Country Club. Mark was a member of the PGA and was a Master Instructor at the Jim Mclean Golf School for over 25 years. In 2020, Mark was honored to be selected as South Florida’s PGA teacher of the year. He achieved recognition as one of the best teaching pros in the country and counted many captains of industry as his clients. Mark was blessed with an uncanny gift to connect with people at all levels.

Above all, Mark’s strength was his relationship and love for his wife and family. After long days teaching, he always found time to play golf with Jack and Carly. We are deeply saddened that such a charmed life is ending too soon.

In memory of the love that Mark had for the game of golf, his family has created the Mark Costaregni Golf Foundation. One of the many beneficiaries will be the Cushman School golf program which Mark founded in 2015. Donations should be addressed to the Mark Costaregni Golf Foundation c/o Jack Costaregni, 213 Zoe Way, Miami Beach, Florida 33141.
