Mark Kaspar

corpus christi, TX

Mark Kaspar went home to his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on July 22, 2017. Mark was born on March 8, 1958 in Corpus Christi, Texas, to Method (Mike) Kaspar and Delores (Mikulik) Kaspar. He was a 1976 graduate of King High School, Corpus Christi, Texas. Additionally, he graduated from Texas A&M-Corpus Christi and St. Edward's University, Austin, Texas. Mark held masters' degrees in both business administration and legal mediation.

Mark was a hospital purchasing agent for St. David's Hospital in Austin for many years. For the last seventeen years of his working life, he was a contract specialist and director of contracts and procurement for the Texas Procurement Office, State of Texas. He retired in October 2016 and moved from Lakeway to La Grange to be near his brothers.

Mark will be remembered for his gentle, loving and kind manner, his terrific sense of humor and most importantly, his tremendous Christian faith. He enjoyed jogging, marathon runs, and was an avid reader. He believed in giving back to community and was active in several charities. His giving nature was evidenced by the last act of his life-donating his organs and tissue to other human beings.

Mark leaves behind his loving sister Gloria (Mark) Henson of San Antonio; brother Tom (Beth) Kaspar, of Odenton, Maryland; brother Jim (Christine) Kaspar of Fayetteville, Texas; and his eldest brother Mike (Susie) Kaspar of La Grange, Texas. He also leaves behind numerous nieces and nephews.
