Mark Christopher Geurin
May 10, 1957 to October 2, 2013
Resident of Capitola & Watsonville California
On October 2, our beloved son, brother and uncle, Mark Geurin, went peacefully to be with Jesus. Mark enjoyed Special Olympics, attending the Hope Senior Program and spending time with his family, especially his mother. Mark always attended his nieces' and nephews' special moments and events. He loved dancing, karate moves, bowling, Michael Jackson, Rocky movies, Big Macs and especially his morning coffee. The family would like to express our gratitude to the wonderful doctors and staff of Dominican Acute Rehab Unit/Hospital and Kindred Nursing and Transitional Care - Santa Cruz. We also appreciate the kind and compassionate care of Hospice of Santa Cruz and Pacific Coast Manor. Mark was preceded in death by his father, Arvy Geurin. He is survived by: his mother, Joyce Walen, of Capitola; sister, Debi Sanchez, and her husband, Bill, of Aptos; nephew, Daniel Sanchez, and his wife, Jenn, and their children, Claire and Leelah, of Watsonville (Daniel and Jenn lovingly cared for Mark the last seven years of his life); niece, Dana Yao, and her husband, Will, and their children, Elias and Tessa, of San Jose; nephew, Matthew Sanchez, and his wife, Heidi, of Capitola; nephew, Jonathon Sanchez, and his wife, Lynette, and son, Ari, of Redwood City; niece, Fabiola Tiscareno, and her husband, Rafael, and their children, Briana and Bella, of Watsonville; brother, Scott Geurin, and his wife, Juanita, of Watsonville; nephew, Scott Geurin, of Watsonville; niece, Roxanne Geurin, of Watsonville; and many more family and friends. Mark has affected his family in a profound way with love, sense of humor and enthusiasm for life. We will miss Mark very much, but know we will see him again and hear him ask, "Where you been?" A private memorial was held in Mark's honor.
