Mark Oberschewen, 49, of Belmar passed away tragically along with his father, Bill at home on Monday, August 15, 2016. Mark was born in Elizabeth and was a lifelong resident of Edison. He moved to Belmar in 2013. He was a 1984 graduate of Wardlaw-Hartridge High School and earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Business from the University of Maryland in 1988.
