MAFS Mark Maher Mourns Tragic Death Days Before Christmas
Just two days before Christmas, Mark Maher’s beloved feline, Chloe passed away. The MAFS personality was heartbroken as Chloe had been in his life for over a decade and a half. He had experienced her “unconditional love” for 16 years. And, he was heartbroken to have to say goodbye.
Mark shared a collection of photos of his sweet baby girl as he broke the news. The first photo was of him with his head pressed against her body as he tragically said goodbye. Mark added that he loved Chloe as if she were his child.
Thank you for always loving me and being there for me during my ups and downs over 16 years … I’ll always love you and I’ll forever miss you
He thanked her for all the wonderful times they had together over the years. And, he hoped she was over the rainbow bridge with the other two furbabies he had to say goodbye to that were once her siblings.
Familiar Heartbreak
In a second Instagram post, Mark Maher shared a collage containing all three photos of him saying goodbye to his three cats. Sadly, Rocky and Chloe both passed away this year. JC passed away two years ago in September 2021.

- “Omg….im so sorry bro….:(…Jesus..if there’s anything i can do, or if you need to talk I’m here”
There was nothing Married At First Sight fans could say that would take the pain away. They, however, were there to support Mark in any capacity he needed.
