Mark Neal Albright, 64, of Joliet, IL, passed away on July 31, 2021, at his home with his loving family by his side, while watching the Cubs game.

Mark loved playing and watching sports, especially baseball, bowling, hockey, and golf. His proudest accomplishments in sports were winning the Joliet Bowling Association City Tournament in 1992 and bowling a perfect 300 game in 2002. He was a life-long Cubs and Raiders fan and loved watching the Cubs win the world series in 2016. He also enjoyed playing poker and blackjack at the casino and celebrated his 60th birthday with a memorable trip to Las Vegas. He also had a love of trivia from his father and liked playing games, especially trivia and word games, but his greatest joy of all was spending time with his family.
