Mark Harp Obituary
1959 - 2016
Mark C. Harp, 57, of Kenosha, passed away on Sunday, Sept. 4, 2016, at Aurora Medical Center.

LeeAnn,
I am so sorry for your loss. Mark will truly be missed. He was such a great friend to all. I will miss hanging out at the backyard tikki bar for the Packer games. Mark is now with his father who he so greatly loved & they are sitting on the 50 yard line watching the Packer games.
XOXO

I haven't seen Mark for ages, back at his mom and dad's house in the 80's. Too young for a young man to pass. My heart to all that loved him! I pray he loved his Creator and Saviour
