Mark DuBois Funeral
Thursday, July 23, 2026 | 11 AM
Mark Joseph DuBois, age 53 of Edina, Minnesota, passed away peacefully on July 14, 2026, surrounded by his family.
Mark was born to Donald Elwood and Lavonne Joyce DuBois on February 1, 1973. From a young age, Mark found joy in everything he did, developing an unwavering love for WWE wrestling, ice cream and potato chips, Star Wars, and most importantly, his family. As a child, one of Mark's favorite things to do was take trips to his family's farm in Highmore, South Dakota.
Everyone around Mark was always happy to see him, as he brought kindness into every life he touched, from the staff at Jerry's Foods in Edina, where he loved to shop, to his co-workers at Best Buy, to his family every single day. Throughout adulthood, Mark continued to find joy in the simple things. He proudly worked in the mailroom at Best Buy for 23 years, decorating his desk with everything from Elvis Presley posters to pictures of his family. He loved watching WWE wrestling with his nephews and was always so proud to be "one of the boys." Whether he was writing daily schedules with every minute mapped out to a tee, building a new sculpture with his red Legos, or enjoying a good Diet Coke, Mark found happiness in life's everyday moments.
There was nothing Mark loved more than his family - so much so that he was always the first one to text, "Happy birthday!" He brought them so much love. He made everyone better.
Mark's joyous spirit continues to live on through his mother, Lavonne Joyce DuBois; siblings, Michelle (Andrew) Fraley and Michael "Boy" DuBois; nieces and nephews Katharine, Jane, Jack, and Michael Fraley; as well as many loving relatives and friends. He was preceded in death by his father, Donald Elwood DuBois.

Raised in Kenilworth, Illinois, John was a competitive racquet sports player, an avid sailor, a gifted pianist, and an Eagle Scout. After graduating from New Trier High School, he earned a bachelor’s degree with honors in economics and mathematics from Northwestern University in 1989. He continued his studies at Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management, where he completed his MBA in 1991 and was inducted into Beta Gamma Sigma. Subsequently, he became a licensed CPA.
A man of great intellect and disciplined purpose, he began his career in Arthur Andersen’s healthcare consulting practice, where he became a partner. He then joined JPMorgan Chase as SVP and Head of Healthcare Business Development Strategy, engineering a successful turnaround that delivered annual double-digit revenue growth after years of decline.
In 2005, John embarked on a defining chapter as an executive at UnitedHealth Group. He played a key role in starting Optum, establishing the strategic and financial foundation for what would become a $220B+ business. As CEO of OptumRx from 2017-2021, he grew the company into a leading provider of pharmacy care services, increasing revenue by more than $30B and managing solutions programs for clients and 65M+ members. From 2021-2023, he served as President and COO of Optum, overseeing the nation’s largest employer of physicians and serving more than 103M unique customers.

A loving husband, father, brother, and uncle, John poured his whole heart into his family. He lived fearlessly, selflessly, and virtuously, and loved unconditionally. His wit and zest for life were contagious. Most importantly, he led by example. His unwavering devotion to family, his determination to improve people’s lives, and his commitment to live each day to the fullest are the cornerstones of who John was.
When with family and friends, John could often be found competing in the sports he loved at John’s Island Club, Redstick Golf Club, The Minikahda Club, and the University Club of Chicago. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered as a man who defied the odds.
John is also survived by his mother, Eleanor Prince (née Polkoff); his siblings, Thomas A. Prince and Adrienne Prince (Heather); and beloved nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends.
