Mark Budinger Obituary
Born April 6, 1966, in Sodus, he was the son of Ernest and Cora Cook Budinger. On April 6, 1990, he married Lisa C. Gardner, who survives.
Mark worked in various factories and was most recently a cook at Kentucky Fried Chicken in Olean. He had a good work ethic and dedicated himself to the jobs he performed.
Those who knew him admired his amazing sense of humor and his big heart. At home, he loved spoiling his kids and giving loving attention to his many cats. He was also a huge Buffalo Bills fan.
He leaves behind his loving wife of almost 35 years, Lisa; four children, Michael (Keri) Budinger of Denver, Colo., Adrienne Budinger of Olean, Cassandra Budinger of Olean and Andrew Budinger of Olean; two sisters, Sandra Griffith of Olean and Darlene Lee of Gosden, Ind.; one brother, Richard (Karen) Budinger of Norfolk, Va.; and several nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased by his parents; a twin brother, Mike Budinger in 1966; a brother, Harry "Butch" Budinger in 2022; and a brother-in-law, William Griffith in 2023.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date and will be announced.
Arrangements are with the Casey, Halwig & Hartle Funeral Home, Olean.
