HATHERILL, Mark Andrew

May 26, 1963 - June 13, 2022

It is with unimaginable sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Mark Hatherill, father to Mikayla and Morgan Hatherill, and husband to Yvonne (Fogelman) Hatherill. 0ur grief is shared by his father, Donald Hatherill of Atwater, OH, and siblings Michele Hatherill of Hudson, OH and brother Michael Hatherill of New York.

Mark started his career modelling as “Ken”, Barbie’s boyfriend. It sparked a career that lasted more than 35 years in the toy and infant products industries. After Mattel, Mark enjoyed a long career at Playmates Toys, (Mutant Ninja Turtles, Star Trek) and Munchkin, Inc. He was highly regarded by his colleagues in both the U.S.A. and Asia and his advice was sought by multiple start-up firms, consulting continuously until the end.

He was an advisor, a mentor and enjoyed friendships world-wide. He was remarkably honest in words and deeds, never compromising his integrity. He advocated for and inspired those who knew him and worked for him.

Mark had a huge personality and presence: tall and handsome, humorous, and charming. He loved cooking, and entertaining and spending time with his loving and fun-loving family in Ohio and beyond, (who share our profound grief). He loved cars to the extreme. He loved his garage and his enormous collection of tools to the extreme. He could fix anything.

Mark was a dedicated father who managed to raise two phenomenal daughters while still caring for his wife, Yvonne, when she was ill. He was a loving and devoted husband and father, unfailingly strong and supportive. The girls will honor his legacy by following the guidance and courage he exhibited for 20 years.
