Mark DiGenio

Mark DiGenio passed away suddenly on November 13, 2026, at the age of 51.

Beloved son of the late Carmen and Jessica (nee Lumi) DiGenio. Devoted father of Brittany (Brennen) Griscom, Nicholas, Sidney, and Delanie. Loving companion of 10 years to Tina Alessandrini. Former husband of Jennifer DiGenio, with whom he shared the joy of raising their two children. Loving brother of Carmen (Angela) DiGenio and dear uncle of Joseph and Justin DiGenio.

Mark recently retired from the Philadelphia Police Department following more than 28 years of dedicated service to the City of Philadelphia. Throughout his career, he proudly served as a patrol officer in the 22nd District and, most recently, the 17th District before his retirement. His years of service reflected his commitment to protecting and serving the community.

Outside of his career, Mark enjoyed cheering on his hometown Philadelphia sports teams, especially the Phillies, Flyers, Sixers, and Eagles. He also enjoyed spending time with his family and taking on projects around the house. Whether repairing something or tackling a new home improvement project, Mark always enjoyed keeping busy and putting his skills to good use.

Christmas held a particularly special place in Mark's heart. He loved decorating the house, trimming the Christmas tree, and creating a festive atmosphere for his family to enjoy. These traditions, along with the many memories shared throughout the years, will remain especially meaningful to those closest to him.

Above all, Mark treasured his family and the time they spent together. He will be remembered for his dedication to his children, his years of service as a Philadelphia police officer, and the many ways he showed his love through the things he did for those around him. His sudden passing leaves a tremendous void in the lives of his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend his viewing on Saturday from 8:00 AM to 9:45 AM at St. Rita of Cascia Church, 1166 S. Broad St., Philadelphia, PA 19146. His Funeral Mass will begin at 10:00 AM.

Interment will be private.
