Mark Grisham Obituary

Mark Douglas Grisham, 65, of Houston Texas passed away Wednesday December 6, 2017 at his home on the MoJo Ranch in Stockdale Texas. Mark's beloved cat "Cowboy", a seventeen year family member passed that evening and will be earthed with his dad.
Mark Grisham, known as "Spark" to his friends lived life to the fullest. Some of his passions included hunting, fishing, baseball, Harleys, food, cooking, arrow heads and The Western Channel. He is survived by his sister, Susan Waltermier, grandsons Sean Robelen and Mark Abelenda, son-in-law Glen Robelen, grand daughter-in-law Leslie Robelen and his great grandson Henry Douglas Robelen. He was preceded in death by his wife, Christine Grisham, daughters Modesty Robelen and Jodi Grisham and his parents Barbara Grisham and William Grisham. He was cared for until the end by his best friend Monika Prior. Also, several sister-in-laws and brother-in-laws and many nieces and nephews. His motto was "hard to handle but easy to hold."
In the words of Spark," It's been a hell of a ride!"
