Mark Brink Obituary

Mark Allen Brink, 64, of Girard, OH sadly passed away on November 22, 2023 at his home he shared with his daughter. He was born October 3, 1959 in Warren, OH, a son of Lloyd Brink and the late Patricia (O'Donell) Brink-Sage. He spent his career in the tire building industry as a self professed "Rubber Rat", following the trade from Ohio, to Virginia ending in Alabama. He retired from Goodyear Tire in Gadsden, Alabama as a maintenance engineer in 2020. After retirement he moved back to Ohio to be near his daughter, grandson and great grandchildren. He was a lifelong lover of the outdoors, and his happiest moments were on his boat fishing with his family and friends. Most recently he enjoyed nothing more than sharing a banana popsicle with his great-grandson Spencer, and feeding cheese to his wiener dogs. He leaves behind a hole that will never be filled, but love will always endure. Feel free to toast to Mark with his favorite drink, Dickel Whiskey. He is survived by his daughter, Nichole Brink, son, Benjamin J Brink, father, Lloyd (Norma) Brink, brother, Robert "Bob" (Linda) Brink, Sr., grandson, Noah A. (Alyssa) Brink, great-grandchildren, Spencer Ryan Brink and Paisley Ann Brink. He was preceded in death by his mother, Patricia Brink-Sage. In accordance with his wishes he will be cremated. A private celebration of his life will be held. Carl W. Hall Funeral Home is honored to assist with these arrangements.

Just learned from a friend of Mark's passing. Very sad and surprised.
I had the pleasure of meeting Mark in Huntsville for the first time, as he was winding-down his work there and learned he 'was available'. We were very lucky to get him to transfer to Danville, VA, and I had the pleasure of working with Mark for several years. He was always a gentleman, and a professional. I will never forget that permanent smile of his, and his willingness to tackle just about anything that came along - and getting it done. His ability to resolve issues and work with others was exceptional.
Thank you for your help along the way my friend. Rest in Peace my Friend.
Our Thoughts and Prayers go out to the whole Brink Family.

I was very sad and shocked to hear about Mark´s passing. I worked with Mark in three different GY plants and you will never find a finer man, friend, and colleague than Mark Brink. We shared many stories over the years about each other´s families and Mark was told me many stories and great times that he had with them. He loved all of his family dearly!
I considers Mark a very good friend as we fished together, went out to eat, had each other over for meals, traveled together for work and visit a casino every now and then. All great times and great memories for me that I will never forget!
I never had to worry about the equipment in the plants we worked in, Mark always had an idea or solution when things didn´t look well or we didn´t have a part to fix something. It was truly amazing to see how creative he was, he new his business and was the best at what he did.
Mark and I also shared a birthday, October 3rd. He would always beat me to the punch to who´s me "happy birthday", I tried for years to get to him first but finally just gave up, it wasn´t going to happen. You hear the expression "he´s a guy that would give you the shirt off of his back", well Mark was that guy!
Rest in Peace my friend, I will miss you more than you can imagine. October 3rd will be a hard day for me going forward, I will never forget our friendship and all of the years we spent together, inside and outside of a plant. Thanks for the memories!
