MCLEOD, MARK A.

Mark A. McLeod, of Flint Township, age 50, died Tuesday, June 4, 2013 after a life long battle with Cystic Fibrosis. Mark was the youngest child of Danny McLeod and Shirley Hubbs, and lived in New Lothrop as a child. Mark graduated from Ainsworth High School, Class of 1981, and worked at Hudson/Marshall Fields for 25 years before retiring in 2006. Mark married his high school sweetheart, Pamela Barnett on April 18, 1981, and was happily married for 32 years. After 17 years of marriage, Mark and Pam were blessed with a son, Aaron McLeod, who added another layer of joy to their lives. Mark's life took a beautiful turn in June 1982 when he was baptized as one of Jehovah's Witnesses. Mark was a faithful member of the Western Hills congregation, where he served as an elder. Mark's life revolved around his family and the worship of God, not around his profession or his disease. He never took life for granted and lived life to the full. He enjoyed hiking, camping, music, and going to car shows with his son. He was considered by all who knew him to be sincerely kind and gentle, quiet and strong. He was a precious husband, a delightful father, and a devoted son and brother and dear friend. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him. Mark is survived by his wife Pamela, his son Aaron, his mother Shirley Lanckton and stepfather, Wayne Lanckton Jr. of Interlochen, sister Veronica Carol and husband Larry of Grand Blanc, brothers, Dann of Flint, Tim of Grand Blanc, and John and wife Mindy of Byron, many nieces and nephews, mother-in-law, Beverly Barnett of Flint Township, and brother-in-law, Greg Barnett of Fort Wayne Indiana. Mark was preceded in death by his father, Danny McLeod in 1995, his father-in-law, Tom Barnett in 2000. Mark also leaves many dear friends, especially from the Western Hills, Atherton Park, and Grand Blanc congregations of Jehovah's Witnesses. Cremation has taken place and a Memorial Service for Mark will be held on Saturday, June 15, 2013 at 3pm at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses at 1187 South Dye Road, Flint, MI 48532.

Pam, I have often thought of you and your family since running into you a few years ago. I was heartbroken to hear that Mark had passed, but blessed to hear that you spent 32 wonderful years together. I will always remember Mark as that sweet quiet guy from Ainsworth, and I know that you and Aaron have a lifetime of memories to hold on to. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

So sorry for your loss. My prayers are with all his family. Death is a very difficult time, especially when so young. I am also a cousin of Marks. debbie hubbs fawcett

I am very sorry for your loss. I worked with Mark from 1988-2000 at Hudson's/Marshall Fields. As I worked in the Oriental Rug Department on the second floor, Mark (among his many duties there)was accustomed to hauling our heavy rugs to customers' cars and unfortunately back again when the rugs would be the wrong size, etc. He always did it with a smile on his face. Mark carried himself well at work and as you know was a great guy. I pray for peace for your family.
