"VIRGINIA BEACH - Mark Louis Pomory, 62, died on February 5, 2023, at home. He is survived by his wife, Krystle R. Pomory; sons, Mark Jr., David, Colin, and Sean; daughters-in-law, Kristine, Cheyenne, and Lauren; sisters, Elaine Elliot and Janet Scott; brother, Michael Pomory; grandchildren, Ariana, Chase, Hunter, Averley, and Dylan; beloved companion, Bailey. He is preceded in death by Pamela J.F. Pomory; sister, Deanna Roche; brothers, Robert and John &quot;Carl&quot; Pomory. Mark was born to Louis and Irene (McDonald) Pomory on February 9, 1960 in Baltimore, MD. He pursued a career in the Navy as an Electronics Technician and retired in 1997 as a Chief Petty Officer after 20 years of service, receiving several commendations. Mark was known for his love of people, food, thrill-seeking, riling up a tough debate, and his precision as a marksman. An avid pool player, Mark was a member of numerous pool clubs over the years, winning tournaments both in the states and overseas. Mark was a fierce lover of animals, a trait that led him to bringing home many neighborhood strays until the end of his life. Animals he cared for included (but were not limited to) dogs, cats, birds, fish, tarantulas, bearded dragons, bunnies, and ducks. Friends and family will gather privately on February 12, 2023 to celebrate his life. In lieu of flowers, food or gifts, please donate to Mark Jr. &amp; Kristine Pomory to assist with the cost of a service dog from Autism Anchoring Dogs."
