Mark Gardenhire Obituary
Mark was born on September 2, 1962 to Bob & Sheila Gardenhire in San Diego California. After Mark graduated from Helix High School in 1980, he went on to meet the love of his life. In 1982, Mark met Teresa Burnette at McDonalds in Lemon Grove California. Mark and Teresa were married on May 21, 1989 and went on to have two children, Eric Mark Gardenhire and Trevor Mark Gardenhire.
In 2005, Mark and Teresa moved their family to Bend, Oregon where they established their permanent home and enjoyed camping together as a family and fishing at the Lake in their free time. He loved getting to spend time with his grandkids and he loved his great danes' Willy & Moose and other pets that were part of their family.
Mark was predeceased by his mother Sheila. He is survived by his wife Teresa, his sons Eric and Trevor, his grandchildren Liam and Ansley, his father Bob and his brother and sister David & Annie as well as a great deal of extended family and friends.
Services will be held at Bend Church of the Nazarene on February 1, 2025 at 11:30am - 2:00pm.
