Mark Allen Oliver, born on January 24, 1991, in Montgomery, Alabama, passed away peacefully on May 21, 2026. A man remembered for his vibrant spirit and joyful presence, Mark was truly the life of the party and touched the hearts of many throughout his life.

Mark was an accomplished musician, skilled in playing the tuba and piano, and had a beautiful voice that he loved to share through singing. His passion for music was only matched by his enjoyment of fishing, pastimes that brought him both peace and happiness. Above all, Mark held a deep and unwavering love for his sons, Riley Oliver and Mark Allen "J.R." Oliver, Jr., who were his proudest accomplishments and the center of his heart.

Mark's family life was rich and extensive. He is lovingly mourned by his mother, Claudia O’Connell and her husband, John; his brothers, Luke Oliver—his twin—and Wade Oliver, married to Sammie, as well as Joshua Moore. His maternal grandmother, Carolyn Adams, along with several nieces, nephews, and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins, also grieve his passing. Together, they hold dear the memory of a beloved son, brother, grandson, uncle, and friend who enriched their lives beyond measure.

He is preceded in death by his father, Wade Oliver, Sr., his paternal grandparents, Aaron and Hattie Oliver, and his maternal grandfather, Robert Moncrief. Their legacy lives on in Mark’s heart and the many lives he touched.

Mark's devotion extended beyond family; he was an avid fan of Alabama football, embracing the spirit of teamwork and community that mirrored his own approach to life.
