Mark Passarelli Passed Away on September 5, 2025
It's with great sadness that I have to share the passing of Mark Passarelli. He was a great friend to many, a consumate craftsman, an artist and one of the most fun people to spend time with.
On a personal note, while I haven't had the pleasure to meet everyone Mark called a friend, I have met many of you. For over 40 years Mark was my "little brother". He was one of the most generous and loving people I ever met. I will miss him in so many ways.
Mark is survived by his parents, his sister and his two children.
If anyone would like to pass along their condolences to his family, please use the contact form on this website.
If you have a project at his shop, please use the form as well and I will get back to you.
I know that Mark loved all his Mercedes collector and enthusiast friends and I am certain you will miss his good humor and generosity! He was among the last of the true craftsman in his field.

Restored by Rancho Merced's Mark Passarelli, this beautiful 1955 Gullwing sets another record!
