With a heart full of love and peace, Mark Eugene Mann took his final breath on November 6, 2025, at 9:30 p.m. in Hillsboro, OH. He was 69 years old. Mark was born in Shelbyville, IN on January 4, 1956.
Mark's journey through life was shared with his beloved life partner, Linda Gladding, with whom he found true companionship, laughter, and unconditional love. He is also lovingly remembered by his sister-in-law Nancy. Mark is survived by his three children Rhea, Chad (Stephanie King), and Brad (Lisa Smith). Mark was blessed with 10 grandkids, 8 great-grandkids, 2 nephews, 2 nieces, 3 great-nephews and 1 great-niece. Mark preceded the death of his parents Delbert and Vernell Mann, 2 brothers Raymond and Thomas Mann, 1 sister-in-law, Gloria Mann and a great-granddaughter, Caroline Low.
Mark was a man of strength, creativity, and deep spirit. A talented woodworking craftsman; he could bring beauty to life with his hands and took pride in creating things that would last. At home, he found simple joy in caring for his chickens, whose company always brought him peace and laughter.
With 14 proud years of sobriety, Mark found spirituality, healing, and gratitude in every day. Alongside Linda, his life partner and best friend, he lived with love, contentment, and purpose.
No matter the distance or the challenges life brought, Mark's heart remained open - full of compassion for others and pride for his family. He will be remembered for his humor, wisdom, and the warmth that made everyone feel at home. Rest in peace dad we love you.
A graveside service in Miller Cemetery will be announced.
Funeral Directors Greg Parks, Sheila Parks, and Stuart Parks are honored to serve Mark's family.
