Mark Leasure Obituary
Mark was born in Lakewood, Ohio and moved to Pleasant Hill, California in 1969. He attended and graduated from California State University Chico in the field of printing. It was in Chico where he met his wife, Sue, of 35 years.
Mark is preceded in death by mother Maxine and his brother Bob. He is survived by his wife Sue, two sons Andrew and Max, father Robert and his wife Sherry.
Mark was well known throughout Lodi as an avid softball player. You could often find him on the weekends playing guitar and singing with his best friend Ken Peterson at local wineries. Hailing from Ohio, Mark faithfully remained a Cleveland Browns Backer as well chanting "Never Give Up on the Tribe". Mark worked for G-3 Enterprises Closure Division, a Gallo Family affiliate, for 15 years in New Product Development and Customer Service. He loved his job, the company, and the people within the organization. They each loved him back while commonly referring to his ability to "create lots of magic" in the workplace.
In lieu of flowers, please spread his legacy by donating to The American Cancer Society and/or The American Heart Association. Memorial Services will be held at a later date to be determined.

Over the years Mark has become a great friend besides being a business partner. He is one of the most kindest, correct and proffessional busines partner you could ever wish for. His thank you emails were very appreciated in Germany, and made my live very easy to get things done for him. I will miss our games of guessing music, our conversations and his hug when I came to visit him. I am sure you will rest in peace Mark. Henk Hommes Actega Rhenania. The Netherlands/ Germany

Reading Mark's obit makes it all too real - and I am crushed again.
Seems like we all remember the same things that made Mark, Mark - his music, his smile and sweet demeanor.

Love you.

I am sitting at a tiki bar in Delaware. The solo act just played "The Weight," which always brings me back to The "O" and Beach sitting on the bar playing his guitar and singing. And smiling, always smiling. Good guy, good times.

Hey, Buddy you will be missed! The great pleasure and anticipation I felt when you and Kenny came to the two bars I was affiliated with played with your special brand of talent, humor and chemistry was something I'll never forget. And the post concert BBQ at Phil Giammona's house was special! Goodbye, Dear Friend.
Your laugh and smile will be dearly missed. You touched many hearts at G3 and you will forever be remembered!
