Philip Marik Obituary

Faribault - Philip Shawn Marik, age 49, of Faribault, died suddenly of natural causes on Friday, August 11, 2023 at his home.

Memorial visitation will be at Boldt Funeral Home, Faribault on Thursday, August 17, 2023 from 4 to 7 p.m.

Celebration of Life will be held at the Lake on Saturday, August 19, 2023 from 1 to 4 p.m.

He was born March 22, 1974 in Rochester, MN and was the youngest son of Lloyd and Mary Ann Marik who resided in Owatonna at the time of his birth. In 1977, the family moved to Faribault on Misgens Bay of Roberds Lake where Phil lived at the time of his death. Phil graduated from Faribault Senior High in 1992. Over his lifetime he worked at Wimpy's Restaurant, Mercury Minnesota, Faribo Manufacturing, Land O Lakes, Dagry Tool and Die and he was most recently employed at K&G Manufacturing for 17 years.

Phil LOVED Metallica and was a "fifth member". As a part of the Met Fan Club, he toured across the country to attend concerts. If you stopped by you likely would hear Metallica playing in his garage. He loved to be with good friends and family. He enjoyed his John Deere, and also spending time in his garden where you could find him among his many vegetables and majestic sunflowers. He could frequently be found relaxing in the sun on his pontoon boat on Roberds Lake.

He is survived by his sisters, Kathy and Rick Hallanger of Faribault, Shelly Marik and Peeps of Faribault, Tammy Marik and Randy of Bethel, MN, Judy Marik and John of Fargo, ND; a niece, Aubrie and Tyler Strother of Faribault, a nephew, Jon and Megan Kuneli of Burnsville. He also had a special place in his heart for his great nephew, River Strother, who many called him "little Phil". In addition, he is survived by a multitude of "world class" friends, and we are thankful for the support of each and every one of you.

Phil was preceded in death by his parents, his infant brother, Verlyle Lloyd; aunt, Lanita Marik; maternal grandparents, Blanche Bock Hubbard, Charles Bock and Willis Hubbard, and his paternal grandparents, Elsie and Anton Marik. He had two beloved dogs that preceded him in death, the bond between Phil and his German Shepherds, Scout and Barron was extraordinary.
