Mark Colburn Obituary
Mark was born on December 20, 1954, in Portage, Wisconsin, to Delores "Lolly" R. Colburn and Thaine A. Colburn. Mark enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1975 and served on the USS Harold E. Holt. He was honorably discharged in August 1977. Mark had a love of old cars, especially his cherished 1970 Chevelle. Mark enjoyed spending time with his close friends, researching parts for his Chevelle and going to various car shows with friends.
SurviVors include his brothers, Scott (Kathy) Colburn of Friendship, and Allan Colburn of Vancouver, Washington. He is also survived by many nieces, nephews, cousins and other family members.
Mark was preceded in death by his parents, Thaine Albert and Delores Rose Colburn, stepmother Gloria Mae Colburn and nephews Robert Colburn and David Colburn.
Per Mark's wishes, no funeral services will be held; however, a Celebration of Life will be held in the Spring.
