Mark Weinstein passed away on January 31, 2024, after braving Glioblastoma brain cancer. He was born October 5, 1961, in Bronx, NY, by beloved late parents, Leon and Mamie Weinstein, who, two weeks after his birth, moved to Miami, FL. Mark spent his formative years “having fun in the sun,” fishing, skateboarding, and training in the Police Explorer Program with his North Miami Beach friends. By the age of 16, Mark grew to be the brightest kid on the block, garnering his early admission to the University of Miami, where in 1983, he earned a Bachelor of General Studies in Philosophy, Politics, and Public Affairs, graduating cum laude, Departmental Honors in Philosophy. In 1987, at the University of Arizona, Mark obtained a Master of Arts in Philosophy. Continuing his studies there, he earned a Master of Arts in Political Science and a Juris Doctorate in 1990.

Mark began his eight-year teaching career as a professor of political science and legal studies at East Central University in Ada, OK, and McMurray University in Abilene, TX. By 1996, he had moved to Atlanta, GA, and worked for James “Jimbo” Howell until opening his own law practice in 2001. Mark founded and owned the Law Offices of Mark Weinstein, P.C., in Cumming, GA. For 22 years, he represented the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) as a Special Assistant Attorney General (SAAG).

Mark enjoyed international travel. After a trip to East Africa, he supported the rescue and rehabilitation of Kenya’s elephants. He relaxed by listening to jazz and classical music and touring countless art galleries and museums. He relished fine dining and enjoyed many gourmet meals his wife, Liana, prepared.  He enjoyed challenging hiking trails with her and their two pointers, Benny and Coco, along many Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina pathways and waterfalls. Mark loved watching weekly NFL football, especially his beloved Miami Dolphins, as well as daily international news and Sunday political programs.

Mark is remembered fondly for his giving nature, honesty, intelligence, kindness, loyalty, and mentorship. He is deeply missed by his family and friends. Immediate survivors include his loving wife of 20 years, Siciliana “Liana” Delgado, and his younger brother, Brian Weinstein of Lilburn, GA.

As Sandy Cohen, a dear friend, communicated, “Baruch Dayan Emet,” an ancient Hebraic way of saying that Mark was a blessing to those who knew him. May peace be upon him and those he cared for and cared for him.
