Mark H. Lineberry
Mark Holden Lineberry, 60, lost his brief battle with cancer in Davidson,
NC on March 21, 2008 with his family at his side.  Born September 18, 1947
and raised in suburban Philadelphia, Mark resided and worked in New York
City after his college days at Penn State.  A talented composer/musician
and media producer, Mark's client list included such names as Arista
Records, Baccarat Crystal and CBS Records. His compositions have been
recorded and marketed internationally. Head Cleaner, an urban acoustic
band and his most recent project, was the recipient of several awards,
as were a number of Mark's compositions. Head Cleaner's 2002 CD garnered
enthusiastic revues both on the air and in the press. Playing to packed
houses throughout the greater northeast, Head Cleaner often performed at
the famous Bleecker Street "CBGB's".  Mark not only always gave of himself
as a teacher and mentor to many young aspiring musicians and songwriters,
but he was always ready to lend a helping hand. A fiercely competitive
racquetball player, he was proud of his many trophies. His racquetball
compatriots at NYU, where he played and instructed, commented on the
YouTube posting of his video 'Every Human Heart', "Mark, you've touched
everyone in the RB club with your grace and spirit. Keep it going on
the other side." Friends and fans in New York are planning Memorial
events to celebrate his life and legaacy.  Surviving are his sister,
Tanya S. Wagner of Mechanicsburg; brother, Dr. Charles G. Lineberry of
Raleigh, NC; four nephews, Stephen Wagner of Harrisburg, PA, Dr. Chris
Lineberry of Phoenix, AZ, David Lineberry of Raleigh, NC, Jeff Lineberry
of Greensboro, NC; and two nieces, Lynn Myers of York, PA and Cate
Lineberry of Silver Spring, MD.  Memorial contributions may be made
to Hospice and Palliative Care of Iredell County, 150 Fairview Road,
Suite 325, Mooresville, NC 28117. www.pennlive.com/obits
