Mark Steven Moriconi passed away on January 25, 2022 at the age of 73 in Redwood City, California after a decade long battle with Early Onset Alzheimers.

He was born to Bill and Ardevina Moriconi on May 7, 1948. Mark will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 33 years, Susan Moriconi; his son, Alex Moriconi; brothers, Bill Moriconi (Susan) of St. Louis, Missouri and John Moriconi (Eric) of Wichita, Kansas: step children Jeff Bergman (Alexis) and Lisa Bergman (who preceded him in death), grandsons Christopher and Nicholas Bergman and his nephews and niece.

After graduating from Kapaun High School and Wichita State University majoring in English and Mathematics in Wichita, Kansas, Mark received a Ph.D. in Computer Sciences from The University of Texas at Austin and later completed the High-Tech Executive Program at Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business. He published over 20 technical papers and held many patents. Mark was also an invited speaker, panelist, technical reviewer, program chair and general chair at dozens of international ACM/IEEE conferences and workshops, winning several awards for his contributions.

Mark’s professional career included nearly 20 years as Director of Computer Science Lab at Stanford Research Institute and he eventually founded his own company, SecureSoft/CrossLogix. Following its sale, the technology CrossLogix was based on became a core component of Oracle Entitlements Server.

Mark and Susan moved to Atherton 35 years ago, where Mark was able to engage in his passions for gardening, sports and wine. He enjoyed fine dining, cooking and travel and, more than anything, loved sharing those experiences with the people he held dear. He also enjoyed walking to Peet’s every day with his black labrador, Tori, and even started to look like her later in life when they were both grey around the muzzle and wearing all black.

A celebration of Mark’s life will be held on Thursday, February 3, 2022 at 11:00 a.m. at the Church of the Nativity, 210 Oak Grove Ave., Menlo Park, CA. An interment will follow at Holy Cross Cemetery, 1880 Santa Cruz Ave, Menlo Park, CA.
