August 31, 1952 – November 22, 2025
Mark Haruo Dobashi of Whittier, Calif., born to Masao and Shizue Dobashi in Los Angeles, raised in ELA and Monterey Park, passed away peacefully at home on November 22, 2025.
A devoted husband and father, and a proud journeyman plumber, he provided for his family working decades in the private sector and 14 years in the City of Los Angeles. He liked the work and enjoyed the camaraderie and respect among co-workers.
He loved cars, motorcycles and the Dodgers. He cherished every cat and dog that shared his home. He enjoyed his privacy, time alone and sharing his wry sense of humor with friends.
Kind and generous, he leaves behind a loving family – wife, Michiyo; son, Michael (Charlene) Dobashi; daughter, Robin (Karim Chee) Dobashi; grandson, Brock Dobashi; sister, Elizabeth (Wade) Kato.
He is also survived by an aunt, cousins, nieces, nephews and in-laws.
A small private service was conducted in accordance with his wishes.
The family requests, please, no koden. Your good thoughts and warm memories are sure to find Mark, wherever he ventures to journey.
