Mark Ivey Obituary
Mark's grandparents moved to the Coachella Valley in the fifties and established the Ivey Ranch, a feed yard for cattle and raised and raced quarter horses. In 1979 the property was sold and became the Ivey Ranch Country Club.
Mark grew up riding and working in the family business, the Ivey Ranch Equestrian Center. He led trail rides, hay rides, barbecues, gymkhanas, and many more activities. He was a laid-back caring, kind, and generous person.
Following a funeral service at 10am on August 9, 2024 at the Coachella Valley cemetery there will be a celebration of life. Please RSVP at [email protected].

Growing up in the Coachella Valley and having Family who worked on the Ivey Ranch's. I found it pretty cool to know Mark in our younger years. I remember Mark from School. Remembering him as a good, spirited person.
I wish I could say this or that about Mark, but this catches me by surprise.
I am very sorry to hear of his passing. I can't imagen the family's loss.
My blessing, and prayers go out to them,
Brian Walton
