John Mark Waggoner

John Mark Waggoner, age 58, of Grayson, Kentucky, peacefully departed this life to be with his Lord and Savior on Thursday, October 30, 2025, at Kings Daughters Medical Center in Ashland. Born on April 20, 1967, in Ashland, he was the beloved son of the late Paul E. and Virginia Pauline Burke Waggoner.

Mark was a dedicated mechanic, working alongside his father at Waggoner Tire and later at Waggoner's Muffler Shop. His hands were skilled, and his heart was generous, always ready to lend a helping hand to those in need. Mark had a deep love for his dog, Axel, who brought him joy and companionship. He found solace in the simple pleasures of life, whether it was cooking a hearty meal or casting a line while fishing.

Mark's legacy is carried on by his loving sister, Pamela Joy (Michael) Kitchen of Grayson, and a cherished family of seven nieces and nephews: David Kitchen, Aaron (Keri) Kitchen, Jason Waggoner, Dana (Josh) DaBella, Lesley (Braun) Lowery, Jennifer (Phillip) Stephens, and Steven (Kim) Waggoner. He is also survived by several great-nieces, great-nephews, friends, and extended family who will deeply miss his warm spirit and kind heart.

In addition to his parents, Mark was preceded in death by two brothers, Stephen Waggoner and Paul Raudolph "Mouse" Waggoner; a sister-in-law, Kim Waggoner; and a great niece, Carys Kitchen. Their memories will forever be intertwined with his, as they shared a bond that transcends time.

Funeral services to honor Mark's life will be held at 2 PM on Monday, November 3, 2025, at Malone Funeral Home, with Bro. Tim Waggoner officiating. Burial will follow at East Carter County Memory Gardens. Friends and family are invited to visit from 1 PM until the service hour to share their condolences and celebrate Mark's life.

In this time of sorrow, we remember Mark not only for the loss we feel but for the love and laughter he brought into our lives. His spirit will continue to shine brightly in the hearts of all who knew him. Condolences may be sent to the family at www.malonefuneralhome.com.
