Mark Terry Dupree

My husband, Mark Terry Dupree, was one of a kind. I am so blessed and honored to have known him for the last 13 years. To have loved him with my whole heart. We had so many good times together and only a few bad times together.
Celebrating life’s beautiful blessings of weddings, laughing together, dancing together in our home as well as our kitchen and just holding each other close and saying how much we loved one another from the very first day that we met. Mark I knew that you were my true love and my SOULMATE .I was blessed and honored to have known you. Thank you for being a wonderful man to my girls and to myself.

Mark, I truly miss you. I know that you’re in a better place and that you are happy and you’re healthy up in heaven. God bless you, my sweet prince until we meet again.
I will love you forever and ever.
Love your girl always, Carol.❤

Mark was an athlete in high school. He was on the Keystone Panther's football team in Knox, PA, and excelled at gymnastics. I remember being a small child in the audience at a school gymnastics show and watching with awe and admiration as he held an iron cross on the rings for what seemed to me, a very long time. He was a heroic figure to me, and I was brokenhearted when he left to join the service. I missed him terribly.

When he left the military, he was a rolling stone for many years, always working hard and occasionally coming home for visits. He became a skilled carpenter/builder and left his mark on the world through his many projects. His greatest joy and lasting contribution to the world is his three children, Christopher, Jennifer, and Melissa, and their children. He will live on through them, and I know his kind, sweet spirit still accompanies them.

Always sensitive and tender, Mark struggled with the loss of our father, Dempsey Dupree, who preceded him in death. Mark suffered at the thought of our mother (Luella Dupree age 91) passing, as she has struggled with advanced dementia for the last 4 years. I take comfort that he has been welcomed home with great joy by our father, and he will welcome our mother to the light and love of the afterlife when she joins him there.

My brother Mark was kind, loving, and generous with beautiful eyes that sparkled with humor and mischief. He worked so hard all his life to provide for his family and was just talking about retirement. I know he is at peace and finally - resting in the light and love he cultivated.
