Mark Allan Benzon, 60
St. Cloud
March 17, 1952-Dec. 14, 2012
Mark had lots of family and many friends, all whom he loved dearly. He loved to laugh and reminisce about times past. He enjoyed fishing, furniture refinishing, listening to music and reading. His was not an easy life. The disease of alcoholism plagued him for years and it ultimately took his life. He will be missed by many and remembered with affection. May he finally be at peace.
His mother and father, Stan and Bergie, and wife Cecilia preceded Mark in death. Surviving are his daughter Christal Eve; sister Lexi Glossi (Tom) of Ft. Collins, CO; brother Mike Benzon (Shelia) of Buckner, MO; and many nieces, nephews and cousins. Mark's ashes will be interred in Ft. Collins, CO next to his beloved mother following a simple, family graveside memorial in the spring.
If desired, memorials may be directed to the St. Cloud Hospital Hospice.
