Mark C. Tuttle peacefully passed away December 22, 2023, in his home located in Milford, Ohio after 68 years of a full life of giving back.
Mark was born September 23, 1955, to Robert Powers Tuttle and Mary Pauline Tuttle, both deceased, in Cincinnati, Ohio. Growing up and living in Cincinnati all his life gave Mark a special appreciation for the area. He grew up in Mt. Carmel and started taking Tae Kwon Do as a teenager. His lifelong love for Karate led him to becoming a Master in the martial art as well as passing on that love as the owner of The School of Little Fish Tae Kwon Do for over 30 years in Milford, Ohio. Absolutely adored by his students over the years for teaching self-defense and discipline, he couldn't have been prouder of each and every student he taught. Throughout his time, he formed special relationships with several students who would go on to assist him in teaching at the school.
Outside of Karate, Mark also served as a Parapro for special needs students for Clermont County. Mark had an amazing ability to bond with and teach students with special needs, both in Clermont County schools and in his karate school. It definitely was his calling in life. He also had a love of animals and found great joy in his many pets.
Mark was preceded in death by his parents, Robert P. Tuttle and Mary P. Tuttle and his brother Robert (HB) Tuttle.
He is survived by his ex-wife Susan Tuttle and his two stepsons of over 35 years, Marc Sterling and Scott Sterling. Mark is also survived by his siblings, Lorene (Dale) Robertson, Roberta (Dan) Hendershot, Elivia Tuttle (widow of Robert), Heidi Scheidler, and Tammy Dalton, Mary (Bruce) Brandt, plus many nieces and nephews.
Visitation will be held Saturday, January 6, 2024, from 4:00 PM 6:00 PM at T.P. White and Sons Funeral home; 2050 Beechmont Ave., Mt. Washington, Cincinnati, Ohio 45230. In lieu of flowers we request a donation to the SPCA.
