Marc O’Regan, graduate of MEDEX Yakima Class 2, passed away Friday, February 17, 2006 at 53 years of age.

Marc recently returned from an extended trip to Pakistan, where he went specifically to help earthquake victims (an article in the March 2006 issue of Reader’s Digest details his efforts there). Just prior to that, he’d been on the front lines in the Gulf Coast, after Hurricane Katrina hit, performing house to house search and rescue. A former Navy Seal, Marc relished being at the heart of the action, where he could do the most good.

Marc practiced as a physician assistant and previously as an acupuncturist. He enjoyed diving and Zydeco dancing .
