In Memoriam - Mark Hanna

Tuesday, May 27, 2025   (5 Comments)

Dear TSPS Board of Directors and Members:

It is with a saddened heart to which I inform you all of the passing of our long-time legal counsel and legislative lobbyist Mark Hanna on Friday, May 23, 2025.

You may access his obituary via the link below.

We have also received the following comments from his paralegal this morning, “Mr. Hanna was truly honored to have represented TSPS and its members over the years.  He cared a great deal about the surveying profession and the team he worked with so closely over the years.  He very much appreciated the opportunity to represent TSPS’ legislative interests, as well as licensure issues.”

Mark has been a great friend and asset to the surveying profession and TSPS as a whole.  Throughout the years he has served us with his presence and wise counsel. He will be greatly missed.  Our hearts and prayers go out to Mark’s family as they cope with their loss.

Sad to learn of Mark's passing. Like others, I always enjoyed seeing Mark and having a chat. He was a man of few words, but those spoken by him were worth hearing. I enjoyed my interaction with him on legislative efforts, and Longhorn football. Good to know such honorable folk.

Rest in Peace Mark. You were always friendly and happy to have a conversation. I'll miss seeing you every year at the TSPS Convention...

Mark was always a friendly face around TSPS and always had a kind word. He made me feel welcome when I first started coming to TSPS board meetings and hardly knew anyone. Mark will be missed

Learning of the passing of Mark Hanna is a very sad moment. His friendship, steadfast counsel, guidance, and the many times we walked the halls of the Capitol during Legislative Days or visits with legislators will always be remembered. Mark Hanna was a very good man and I am truly grateful to have known him. May he rest in peace.
