Mark Brant Obituary
Mark was born on February 25, 1969 in South Bend, to John Dean and Angela M. (Swiatowy) Brant. He was preceded in death by his mother, Angela.
Left to cherish the memory of Mark is the love of his life, Megan C. LaFollette and their Fur Baby, Pete; his father, John Brant; siblings, Maureen (Dan) Wozniak, Aaron (Renee) Brant, Adrienne (Tom) Simpson, Corinne (Jeff) Rose; father-in-law, Michael (Patricia) LaFollette; and sister-in-law, Michaele (Nathaniel) Heffner.
Mark graduated from Marion High School in 1987, then went on to earn his Bachelor Degree from IUSB. He taught for the South Bend School Corporation until retiring. Mark enjoyed being outdoors, skiing, hiking, gardening, bicycling, and drumming. He was in a garage band and on the wrestling team in high school. In 2018 he moved to Chesterton to build a future with his love, Megan. Mark was a caring, playful person, he brought joy to their home. He loved all his dogs throughout his life; they were his children. Mark will be forever loved and greatly missed.

Mark and I worked at Martin's Supermarket together and later were at IUSB at the same time. He student taught for me at Kennedy School, and later we worked together at Clay Intermediate. We lost touch a little after he retired. I'm so glad he found the love of his life, and I'm so sorry about this horrible incident. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. He spoke of Adrienne constantly. He was one of a kind and I will never forget him. Jackie Nemeth
