Mark Wayne Kinsey

Mark Wayne Kinsey walked into Jesus' open arms on November 26, 2022, in the Woodlands, TX. He was born on September 24, 1957, in Angleton,TX, and he was preceded in death by his parents Alford Glyn and Shirley Ann Preismeyer Kinsey. He is survived by his wife of 38 years Sally Root Kinsey, son Jonathan Kinsey, son Brandyn and daughter-in-law Rebecca Kinsey, son Nathaniel and daughter-in-law Katherine Kinsey, and granddaughter Addisyn Kinsey.
Throughout his life, Mark believed in the transformative power of education and its impact on the lives of others. Many of the activities he participated in early in life inspired his later educational pursuits and service to others. He became an Eagle Scout and was a member of the National Honor Society, Band, Choir, Society of Physics Students, and Baptist Student Union throughout High school and college. He graduated with a bachelor of science in Physics from Sam Houston State University in 1979 and became a beloved and accomplished physics teacher and mentor.
His sense of humor and creativity inspired countless students at Memorial High School, St. Johns School, Elkins High School, and Clements High School throughout his 40-year teaching career. During summer breaks, he consulted for The College Board and the American Association of Physics Teachers as a Physics Teacher Resource Agent, presenting continuing education for physics teachers across the country. Mark used creative ways to teach high school students about physics-helping create Physics Day at Astroworld, and taking several high school's robotics and Olympiad teams to state and nationals.
Mark deeply loved music and was an accomplished musician, choir and hand bell director, pianist, and organist. He shared his musical talents with multiple churches, serving as an organist for nearly 30 years of his life.
All are welcome to attend and wear his favorite color blue at the memorial service on December 2nd, at 2 pm at Sugar Land Baptist Church, where he and Sally were members for over 20 years.
