Mark William Schiele, age 52, of Grand Haven, entered into eternal rest with his Lord and Savior on Monday, May 29, 2023.
Mark was born on July 2, 1970 in Grand Rapids, MI to Donald and Fredrica Schiele. He attended Spring Lake High School and was a member of St. Luke's Lutheran Church in Nunica.
Mark lived a simple life. He was kind-hearted and social. He loved to talk and had the ability to make friends with anyone he met. He enjoyed trips to the casino with his parents and going on family vacations. He loved to dog-sit for his sisters and talk with them on the phone.
One of Mark's greatest joys was simply being "Uncle Mark" to his nine nieces and nephews. He loved making special memories with them and celebrating their accomplishments. Mark recently celebrated 13 years of sobriety and would not hesitate to share his Experience, Strength and Hope with others who struggled with addiction. Mark's faith in Jesus Christ carried him through all that life brought to him.
Mark was a blessing to all who knew him and will be greatly missed for his kind and friendly spirit.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Fredrica "Fritz" Schiele. He will be lovingly remembered by his father, Donald Schiele; siblings, Susan (Michael) Waugh, Pamela (Aaron) Parker, Michelle (Marlon) Bramble, Angela Helmer; nieces and nephews, Phillip, Paige, Noah, Nicole, Gabrielle, Justin, Aaron, Mari, Primrose.
According to his wishes, cremation has taken place. A memorial service will be held at St. Luke's Lutheran Church, 17122 2nd St., Nunica, MI on Saturday, June 10, 2023 at 11 a.m. with a luncheon to follow. Rev. Dennis Lassanske will preside over the service. Visitation will be held prior to the service at 10am.

Mark came in to this world with more than his fair share of challenges ahead but with the love of a mother he became an independent young man. He was a trooper who wouldn't let his problems stop him from having as good of a life as possible. I myself will always save a spot in my heart for the little guy. He has no problems now he's with his mom. Rest in peace little buddy.

We are so sorry for the loss of Mark. He went to school with our Son Neil and they grew up together. Mark was always a friendly guy and will be missed.
