DUSA are deeply saddened to hear the news that our very own Mark Donnelly has passed away at the age of 58.
Mark was the longest serving member of our team, having worked in the facilities department for over 33 years, since 1991. For over three decades Mark was a familiar face to thousands of students who have studied at the University. He was a constant, reliable pair of hands, and full of wisdom about the history and transformation of DUSA and the wider University.
Anyone who knew Mark will agree that he was cheerful no matter the situation, always smiling and willing to have the friendliest of chats. He was a proud Dundonian, a loyal member of staff and a man of a sincerity.
Testament to his humble nature, Mark only recently revealed to colleagues that he was in fact an international basketball champion, having won various medals in the Special Olympic Games. Mark represented both Scotland and Team GB in Leicester, Strathclyde and Minneapolis, USA. These are fantastic achievements which we continue to be incredibly proud of.

Mark had an irreplaceable presence and warmth on campus. He was a dear friend to our community, and he will be sorely missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends, and the many hundreds of colleagues who had the pleasure of knowing him.
