We went from shooting with our toy guns anything that looked like a bad guy, to wondering why there were no acorns on the oak trees. to supporting each other in the toughest of times. You are now learning all the secrets of the universe that you used to ponder, fishing in the clearest of water, and breathing easy in God's eternal light. Love you always brother, Rest In Peace.

Mark Edward Kubiske
September 30, 1958 ~ March 25, 2025
Age ~ 66
Mark Edward Kubiske, age 66, of Rhinelander, Wisconsin, passed away March 25, 2025, in the presence and care of his loving wife Bridget, at Meriter Unity Point Hospital in Madison.
Mark grew up in the forests, waterways, and rocky mounds of Black River Falls, Wisconsin, where he developed a lifelong love of fishing, the outdoors, and football. One of his favorite experiences was Canadian fishing trips with his buddies. He first married in 1982, moving to LaCrosse and Stevens Point, where he displayed exceptional ability in mathematics and science, graduating with a BS in Forestry. From there, he attended Penn State University to reach his goal of a PHD Plant Physiology and become an avid PSU Nittany Lion football fan. After a brief stay at a scientific research station in Houghton, Michigan, he worked as a professor at Mississippi State University. Mark obtained employment with the US Forest Service in Rhinelander, working on the FACE project. There, he made significant and well-recognized contributions to studying industrialization on forest ecology.
He is survived by his wife, Bridget; Mark’s children, Aaron and James; their mother, Alice; his brother, Allen (Gayle) Kubiske; and Bridget’s children, Carol, Douglas, and Jodi. Grandchildren: Jaxon, Markus, Harley, Niylah, Owen, Noah, and Rylee Gene. His good friend, Kirk Harms, and brother-in-law, Andy Robinson. His fury friends Lennon, Henry, and Bella. And two nephews, one niece, and many cousins and extended family.Those who knew Mark will remember him for his sense of humor, appreciation for the peace of poetry and classical music, his caring nature, and soft-spoken manner. He had a brilliant scientific mind and could readily discuss quantum mechanics, astrophysics, and geology. He showed admirable strength of character, overcoming many obstacles and gaining wisdom and appreciation for life around him.
The visitation for Mark will take place on Friday, April 11, 2025, at the Hildebrand Funeral Home from 5:00 PM until 8:00 PM. A second visitation will be held on Saturday afternoon, April 12, 2025, from 2:00 PM until the 3:00 PM funeral service. Chaplain John Uhlarik will officiate.
