Mark Meadows Obituary

MEADOWS, Mark Devin Al Mark Devin Al Meadows was born in Dallas, Texas on June 5, 1967. And on June 21st of 2020, surrounded by his family and friends, he left this world behind at the end of a 2-year long battle with brain cancer. A true Texan, born and bred, Mark earned his Bachelor's degree in Accounting at the University of Texas at Dallas. He excelled in finance and real estate, where he became one of the industry's top lenders, providing invaluable guidance to his customers while working hard to enhance the growing business and excellent reputation of Mortgage Solutions Financial. To everyone who knew him, Mark was a warm and generous soul, with a smile so big it lit up a room. Always upbeat and exceptionally clever, he never missed an opportunity to help a friend in need or offer a kind word. His colorful expressions and friendly demeanor never failed to put those around him at ease. An active member of the Preston Hollow Rotary Club, Mark also served 14 years on the Board of The Meadows Foundation, founded by his late grandfather and oil industry mogul Algur H. Meadows. Mark is survived by his father, Robert Al Meadows (Lois stepmother) of Dallas, his twin sister Karen Meadows (Marshall Skloss brother-in-law) of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, an older sister Sabrina Chambers of Dallas, his faithful, furry friend and companion Brisby, as well as the many other family and friends who loved him dearly. A time of remembrance will be scheduled when all can safely gather. Memorial gifts may be made to The Meadows Foundation Partnership Fund online: https://portal.cftexas.org/meadowsfund or mail to Communities Foundation of Texas, Attn: C. Newham, 5500 Caruth Haven Ln, Dallas 75225 (Pls note: In honor of Mark Meadows for the Meadows Foundation Partnership Fund).

Mark was my very best friend from Kindergarten through third grade. Just four years, but when you're that young, it seems like forever. I really regret drifting away from our friendship, as kids do. Mark was kind, thoughtful, gentle, and funny. Four characteristics that I value highly in people.

I've really missed him.

I wish his friends and family all the peace and comfort they need.

My name is Donagh and I come from Ireland. I worked with Mark in '96 at the Dallas Medallion Hotel. I was 21 and fresh out of hotel school. He was a great guy and we drank many a shiner bock together. He taught me how to ski on his boat at the lakes - it took me the best part of a day but he had such patience and kept going until I got it! I can still hear the roar of the boat after me saying "Hit it". I tried to get in touch with him a few times over the years but could never find him on social media. I tried again today and found this page and I am saddened to see this. I would love to have spoken to him again. I will remember him forever as we had such good times in the year I knew him before I returned to Ireland. RIP Mark.

I met Mark thru mutual friends after his battle with cancer began; however, he was always selfless, positive and thoughtful of others needs. And very funny. A Good man. My sympathy to the family.

Mark's love was bigger than Big Tex at the fair. The fair was a transporter to The Lady at the Paris Exhibition. We will miss our art talks and walking in the woods.

I came to HHS from the private schools and Mark was one of the first boys to smile and say hello to me. He always had a kind smile and beautiful spirit. This saddens me so much. Prayers to his family and close friends❤

Mark was a genuinely wonderful, caring, loving man. I am so very honored to have the privilege of having him be a part of my life. So much so that my oldest daughter had twins (boy/girl) and I am constantly reminded of Mark and Karen. My deepest condolences to the entire family. Mark was one of a kind. Lots of love, prayers and hugs to you all. ❤❤
