Mark Wooten Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Mar. 24, 2021.

Mark Wooten

March 23, 2021

Mark Wooten, age 58, of Lincoln, passed away on 3/23/2021. A graduate of East high and SCC Milford, Mark always followed the beat of his own drum, and lived life on his terms. Being a people pleaser, Mark carved out his own niche in life by performing and entertaining as a DJ at weddings and karaoke at local bars and taverns in and around the Lincoln area.

Mark always enjoyed his friends, music, watching trains, model railroading and model building were just some of his many pastimes as well as traveling the highways and byways of this country on his Harley. If you knew Mark you knew you had a friend for life.

Mark would always offer help at the asking; no one was a stranger to Mark. Mark enjoyed a large circle of friends, his passing will leave an equally large void in all of the lives he has touched. Forever loved, forever missed.

Survived by his sister Leann Wooten, (Marc Wilson). Preceded in death by wife Kim, brother Tom, parents Marlene and Howard Wooten.

At his request there will be a celebration of life at a future date to be announced.

Not too sure what to say about a friend that I befriended for 18 months at the SCC in Milford Nebraska 1984-1985. First African student at Milford Campus and Mark was so wonderful and he accepted me wholeheartedly. For many years I have been trying to get in touch with those classmates of mine and was unsuccessful. Finally, to found Mark Wooten obituary broke my heart. I remember his friendly smile and jokes during our architecture program and projects, lots of fun. Mark may your soul rest in perfect peace and we shall see again.

I just heard the sobering news about Mark. He and I were classmates at SCC. We both had an odd sense of humor so we got along very well. I often remember things he said and still chuckle under my breathe when I hear comedians use the lines. I will miss Mark.

I am so very sorry for you loss Leann and all of Marks friends. I became Marks friend on FB, I am a friend of his sister Leann. I had not seen him since Leann and I shared an apartment. Then on FB I grew to know more about him. It was fascinating how he could build those little settings for his trains. He was so talented. Plus we shared a love for motorcycles. I stole this picture from one of Leann's post (Leann, Mark and Tom)and the other from Mark's post(Leann and Mark). Leann I can't imagine the heart break you must be filling. Sending lots of hugs your way.

I have known Mark since 7th grade we met because we were not doing the assignment, Mark walked by my desk and said "wow you are drawing a train layout, so am I" we were friends ever since. Our last big adventure was riding our Harleys to the East coast, Marks bike spitting and sputtering the entire trip, he didn´t care just kept on riding, never worrying about tomorrow, we can all learn a lot from him, motor on buddy you will be missed!

Offering my condolences to the family. Mark was a classmate of mine at Lincoln East. Over the last few years we reconnected. Mark was a happy person who enjoyed life. He will be missed.

You always told me I was another sister to you...My experience was different than most because I lived with you,Tom and your dad at the Van Dorn house for a long time.
You would talk to me about your life..about life in general....many long late night conversations..You could always find a funny side to things. Rest in peace good friend.
