Mark DeGrande Obituary
Yale
Mark DeGrande, age 55, of Yale, passed away Sunday, March 22, 2015 in the presence of his family. He was born November 13, 1959 in Detroit, Michigan. Mark was the owner of Majestic Home Set-up of Yale, Michigan. He was a member of the Yale Knights of Columbus # 8710 and the Manufactured Housing Association.
He is survived by his wife, Gail DeGrande. One son and daughter in law, Jeremy and Lisa DeGrande, of Yale. Four grandchildren: Gabriel, Brock, Jensen, and Sloanne. Two brothers and three sisters.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Emil and Beverly (Verkest) DeGrande and one son, Joshua DeGrande.
Mark worked extremely hard and used his time on this earth to build a better life for his family and those he loved. His hands were large his shoulders were strong but his outer strength paled in comparison to the size and strength of his heart. He loved his wife, Gail, and his family very much and he made sure that they knew. He will be missed.
Cremation has taken place. Mark's family is honoring his last wish of a private family service that will be held at a later date.
