Mark Nelligan Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Mark was married to his loving wife, Karla (Gordan) Nelligan, for 39.5 years. He was a graduate of Reitz High School and worked at Sabic and GE for over 30 years. In his leisure time, Mark loved working outdoors; whether it be working on cars, tinkering in the garage, or fixing anything that was broken or needed a little TLC. He "knew a little bit about everything" and was happy to share his expertise. Mark was always there with a helping hand or some needed advice for anyone who needed it. He always made time for his kids' sporting events and looked forward to a family vacation to the beach every year.
Mark was a longtime member of the Westside Sportsman Club and an inductee of the Greater Evansville Football Hall of Fame.
Survivors include his wife, Karla; daughter, Katelyn Nelligan (Terry) of Madison, WI; son, Michael (Shauna) of Mt. Vernon; sister, Sharon (Steve) Bryant; brother, Jim (Diana), and many nieces and nephews.
Preceded in death are his father and mother, Eugene and Juanita (Jamison) Nelligan; brothers, Dennis and John; nephew, Scott; and faithful dog, Roxie; and grand dog, Addie.
Arrangements are entrusted to Denning Family Funeral Home. A Celebration of Life is to be arranged at a later date.
