Mark S. Dehem, born May 26, 1962, was the beloved son of the late John (Jac) and Maxine (née Kennedy) Dehem. Mark shared 35 wonderful years of marriage with his devoted wife, Karen (née DeClark). He was a proud and loving father to Ryan (Emily) Dehem and Danielle (Ryan Rosati) Dehem, and the cherished grandfather of Lila Rae Dehem, who brought him immense joy.
Mark was a treasured brother to Paul (Kim), Dave (Cindy), and Jim (Kathy) Dehem, and is reunited in spirit with his late brother, Gary Dehem. He was a devoted uncle to Luc, Max, Tyler, Nick, and Emily, and a loving godfather to Diana Thomas and Max Dehem.
A lifelong entrepreneur, Mark built a meaningful career as a sports agent, representing baseball players and organizing autograph signings and card shows throughout the Midwest for over 40 years. His work wasn't just a job-it was a passion. He forged lasting friendships with athletes and fellow dealers alike, many of whom became like family. These relationships were a cornerstone of Mark's life, filled with daily conversations, laughter, and deep connection.
Mark's greatest joy came from time spent with his family. He especially loved the Christmas season, where he found magic in every detail-no Christmas tree was complete in his eyes without icicles.
Mark's warmth, humor, and generous spirit touched everyone who knew him. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
