The founding anchor of CNBC’s Squawk Box and co-anchor of Squawk On The Street died unexpectedly at his home last night, the financial news network reports. Haines, who was 65, was a ”building block” of the network, CNBC President Mark Hoffman said. “With his searing wit, profound insight and piercing interview style, he was a constant and trusted presence in business news for more than 20 years. From the dot-com bubble to the tragic events of 9/11 to the depths of the financial crisis, Mark was always the unflappable pro. Mark loved CNBC and we loved him back. He will be deeply missed.”


A tragic loss. My heart goes out to his family, friends, and coworkers.
I’ve always watched Erin and Mark whenever I can. Mark does not pushed away people that he enterviewed for market comments. He always made them finished what they have to say. He’s one of the nicest and professinal guy on TV that anyone would respect.
Eternal Rest on you Mark Haines.
MARK WAS NO “BUBBLE” HE WAS THE REAL DEAL R.I.P.
This is terrible news. Mark was always a very smart, entertaining and genuine person. He’ll be missed by many loyal viewers, myself included.
A great talent and a needed straight shooter in the financial world. Really enjoyed his commentary and how strange that this happened right when his partnership with Erin Burnett had ended.
WOW- what a shame. The guy was a really good anchor who was always honest with his voice. Always hard when its so sudden and unexpected.RIP
My thoughts and prayers are with his family. Unexpected deaths are the worst on survivors. They had zero time to prepare for this. God bless them.
If God ever needed a financial reporter up there , He has one now . Iwill miss him .
Mark, I’m sorry for what your family must be going through. You were a good man. Thanks for being so easy to work with.
Such a truthful man.. I will miss his presence.
I miss Mark very much in the mornings. He could really cone up with some zingers, and made that poor Brit colleague the butt of some funny English humor at times. Ha, Ha.
Wish CNBC could make a deal and bring good ole TED back in the AM. He too was very, very funny and is missed as well. RIP Mark.
SO shocked at this news!!! I loved watching the guests squirm with his direct questioning. CNBC, nay, the world, will NOT be the same without him. BIG LOSS.
We on the west coast were very disappointed to have missed the tribute to Mark Haines yesterday evening. The announcement said it would be presented at 7:00 p.m. and instead we had to see American Greed. I wish we had been reminded that it would be shown out here at 4:00p.m. Pacific time!
MH—thought you were tough and loved the attitude.. such a surprise… you were a real patriot wearing your tie each friday—I am happy you left doing what you love most
be well
Can anyone tell me The cause of death?
