Mark L. Hart Jr., affectionately known as "Markie" to his family and close friends was called to his eternal home on October 7, 2025 at the age of 57.
He was born on September 4, 1968 in Watseka, a son of Mark and Judy (Reeder) Hart Sr. and they survive in Milford.
Mark is also survived by his brother, Eric Hart of Milford; uncle, Charles (Julie) Reeder of Milford; aunt, Mary (Jenner) Watts of Dexter, Missouri; and numerous other uncles, aunts, and cousins.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents; and cousin, Jesse Reeder.
As we bid farewell to Mark, we take comfort in the knowledge that he is at peace in the arms of his creator. His spirit and kind soul will live on through the stories told, the music played, and the classic beauty of the cars he so admired.
Visitation will be from noon until the 1:00 p.m. funeral service on Saturday, October 11, 2025 at the Milford Christian Church with Rev. Brent Zastrow officiating. A luncheon will follow in the auditorium.
