4 Hanley obit , LBHS Alumni Class of 1980After a long, courageous battle with cancer, Mark Patrick Hanley passed away Thursday, June 18 with his mother, Constance, at his side.

Born in Sharon, Penn., Mark was 3 years old when his family moved to Southern California. He attended Laguna Beach High School where he received numerous awards and graduated magna cum laude in 1980. At UCLA he was a member of the varsity debate team and Theta Xi fraternity before earning his bachelor of arts degree.

Hanley began to work in the investment banking industry during his senior year of college. He earned his NASD license and ended his industry career as an equity partner at Laguna Partners, LLC and, most recently, as managing director at Alpha Strategies Inc.

An avid reader, Hanley had a sharp mind and quick wit. He loved golfing, movies, reading, and especially following most sports. In fact, he wrote a popular sports column for the Puerto Vallarta Mirror while he was convalescing there for several months.

But his greatest love was for his family, and he was loved in return, especially by his children, Conor, 14, and Claire. 11; his mother and stepfather, Constance and Edward Vincent; his sisters, Karen Hanley Kirkbride (Peter) and Renee H. Vincent Lewis (Ralph); and his stepsisters, Sandra Vincent Nelson (Mark) and Susan Vincent Bishop. He will be missed by his eight nephews, two nieces, and cousin, Alicia Volkov. Mark’s former wife, Shannon McAvoy Hanley, is the mother of their children and his stepdaughter, Jewell. Mark is pre-deceased by his father, R. Michael Hanley.

The family would like to thank the excellent team of doctors at Kaiser Hospital, Redwood City, Calif., especially Dr. Steve Liou.

Friends are invited to a memorial service at St. Mark’s Chapel, 600 Colorado Ave., Palo Alto, Calif., on Saturday, July 4 at 10 a.m., followed by a luncheon at his sister’s house to celebrate Hanley’s life.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the college fund for Hanley’s children, Conor and Claire. http://www.youcaring.com/conor-and-claire-hanley-376622.
