MARK FINE Obituary

MARK TIMOTHY FINE Mark Timothy Fine, 59, of Victorville, left us on November 27, 2011. Mr. Fine was born on June 18, 1952 "Under the Golden Gate Bridge" at Letterman General Hospital in San Francisco, the first son of Spencer P. Fine and Florence Suzanne Kopriva Fine (who preceded him in death). He was the oldest of the Fine's eight children. He attended St. Leo's School and Archbishop Mitty High School in San Jose - Class of 1971. He played football during his four years at Mitty and was involved promoting rock music acts at the high school for dances and performances. Mark, attended San Jose City College for general education after high school. Mark, began his years of employment at East Valley Bottle Shop and then worked for the Coca-Cola Bottling Company in San Jose. In 1987 he became an Electrical Engineer and was employed by Physical Electronics. Later in life, he worked for both California Charter Academy and the Victor Elementary School District, using his computer expertise to help children, which had become a passion for him. After meeting his future bride, Nancee Lynn Haydis in 1973, Mark joined Nancee's family as an active member of the Saratoga Drama Group; not only as an actor but also working behind the scenes in the stage craft department. Throughout his young adult years Mark's passion for music was expressed through his work as a DJ both at nightclubs in the Bay Area as well as weddings. Married in 1975, Mark and Nancee were joined by their daughter, Allison Marie, in 1978. In 1980, Timothy Spencer completed the family. In 1989, Mark and family moved to Victorville, Ca. where he got involved in the activities of his children which included… Cub Scouts, AYSO, and at VVUHSD/Victor Valley High School in the Band Department, the Soccer program and on the Budget Oversight and Bond Oversight committees. The Jasmine Street Homeowners Association gave Mark a way to connect tech, people and his family. His passion for Apple and all it includes developed into a talent for making movies, slide shows, collages and remembrances for those he held near and dear to his heart. Mark is survived by his loving wife of 36 years, Nancee Haydis Fine of Adelanto; children Allison Fine Johnson of Adelanto, CA and Timothy Fine of Apple Valley; son-in-law Rashad Johnson and daughter-in-law Jennifer Robles Fine; and three amazing grandsons, Tyler Mark, Evan Spencer and Noah Timothy Fine. Mark is also survived by his father, Spencer P. Fine of Arroyo Grande, CA and seven siblings, Maureen Fine Miller of Fresno, CA, Tricia Fine McGuirk of San Jose, CA, Doug Fine of Augusta, GA, Stewart Fine of Fremont, CA, Andrea Fine Gravelle of San Jose, CA, Jon Fine and Kurt Fine of Spokane, WA. Additionally, his brothers/sisters in-law and eighteen nieces and nephews. Mark will be remembered for many positive qualities including his talents in repairing machines, his love of music, his two wonderful children and most especially, being the proud grandfather of three terrific grandsons who already sense his loss. Stories and anecdotes would be appreciated by the family and they encourage you to send them. A Service in Memory and Celebration of his life will be held December 3rd (beginning at 10:00 A.M.) in the auditorium of High Desert Church (HDC), 14545 Hook Blvd, Victorville, Ca. 92394. Arrangements are being handled by Allen Williams at Victor Valley Mortuary.

Nancee, Allison & Tim, We were privileged to know Mark while living in Victorville. The Mark we knew was caring & always giving. He spent innumerable hours helping V.V.H.S. band and I'll never forget his kindness when our son was ill during a band trip to Washington, DC. Mark left the group and took our son for medical attention. Mark, you will always have a special place in my heart. My thoughts & prayers are with all of you

I remember hanging out in your back yard in San Jose in the 80's and Mark had a pet butterfly. It would come to him when he held his hand up. It was magical. I will always remember how he cared lovingly for my children as well as his own. And, I will always remember his love of music as a passion in his life. I hope all his family can be comforted by happy memories.

Dear Mark,

You are beaming now, the majesty of your love-filled life sings out strong from your brave, creative family despite the unbearable loss they feel.

Thanks for all you did here in education, technology, music and theater but mostly in family. The value of loving men sustaining families and communities cannot be overestimated.

To Nancee, Allison, Tim and all the family, I have found comfort in this particular passage at times of loss:

To the Living, I am gone,
To the sorrowful, I will never return;
To the angry, I was cheated.
But to the happy, I am at peace.
To the faithful, I have never left.
Talk to me, and I will hear,
your prayers, they comfort me,
your laughter makes me laugh,
but don't weep for me as I have my reward,
I am with the Father and he will never let me perish,
The Lord comforts me, and longs to comfort you.
So be happy my family and don't despair,
I am in good hands, waiting for the day when
the Lord calls you to come home.

Great Aunt Kiki and I send our prayers,

With love,

Lynda
