Born on April 16, 1958, in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Mark was the son of Wilbert and Juella Finn. From a young age, he displayed a deep appreciation for music—a passion that would shape much of his life.

A proficient trombone player, Mark brought joy and inspiration through his music to those around him during his military years and beyond.

He is survived by his brother Chris and sister-in-law Patricia of Winter Haven, Florida; his nephew Alexander of Pueblo, Colorado; his niece Jacqueline and great nephew Jayden of Minneapolis, Minnesota. He was preceded in death by his beloved parents, Wilbert and Juella.
Mark’s legacy lives on through the memories shared by those who knew him—his gentle spirit, musical talent, and unwavering devotion to family.
