In Loving Memory of Mark Alan Marson February 18, 1953 – October 1, 2025 Mark Alan Marson, a kind and gentle soul whose warmth touched everyone he met, passed away peacefully on October 1, 2025, at the age of 72. Born on February 18, 1953, Mark lived a life rich in love, laughter, and simple joys. He was a devoted family man whose greatest happiness came from spending time with those he cherished most. Whether casting a line on a quiet lake, baking cookies to share with loved ones, or settling in for a good movie, Mark found beauty in the everyday. A lifelong sports enthusiast, Mark could often be found cheering on his favorite teams with unwavering loyalty. His evenings were sweetened by his nightly ritual of enjoying ice cream - a small pleasure that brought him great delight and became a signature part of his gentle routine. Mark's legacy is one of kindness, generosity, and quiet strength. He taught those around him the value of patience, the joy of a well-told story, and the comfort of a warm cookie fresh from the oven. His presence was a gift, and his absence will be deeply felt. He leaves behind a family who adored him, friends who admired him, and memories that will be treasured forever. A private service will be held to honor Mark's life. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you enjoy a scoop of ice cream in his memory - and share it with someone you love. Rest easy, Mark. You were truly one of a kind.
