Mark Powell Eddins

Mark Powell Eddins, 68, passed away on October 13, 2025, in Afton, Wyoming. Mark was born July 3, 1957, in Abilene, Texas, to Boyd and Jane Eddins, and was their oldest son. He spent most of his growing up years living in Smoot, Wyoming. He attended Star Valley High School and graduated with the class of 1975.
Mark had many jobs but primarily worked in the oil and gas industry. He worked for Williams Pipeline, and during his tenure with that company, lived in Tulsa, Oklahoma; Kansas City, Kansas; Opal, Wyoming; and Maturin, Venezuela. While he lived in Kansas City, Mark completed a bachelor's degree in Business Administration and Management at Rockhurst University. He has also lived and worked in Pinedale, Wyoming, and Stanley, North Dakota. In recent years Mark returned to Afton, where he operated his own property management business.
Mark was an avid skier and loved the outdoors and enjoying the beauty of nature. He was happiest when he was bucking the powder of a mountain or kayaking a river. Mark was a motorcycle enthusiast and was always looking for a good ride. He would often retreat to the quiet of his fossil camp near Kemmerer, Wyoming. He enjoyed a good golf game and the view from Star Valley Ranch Golf Course.
Mark is survived by his father, Boyd Eddins; his siblings, Becky Eddins Woodcox, John Eddins, and Jim Eddins; five nephews and one niece. He was preceded in death by his mother, Jane Eddins, and his grandparents, LaVell and Kathryn Eddins, and Marion and Mildred Powell.
A celebration of life for Mark will be planned at a time yet to be determined. Mark's family is grateful for the many expressions of kindness and sympathy that have been extended following Mark's death and are comforted to know that Mark has entered a new life in a place of peace and rest.
