Mark Pickhardt Obituary
Born on March 9, 1954, in Fort Campbell, Kentucky, Mark was the son of Robert Pickhardt and Signhild Linnea Pickhardt. He served his country as a proud member of the United States Coast Guard.
Mark had a heart of gold and a generous spirit. He made sure everyone around him was cared for, right up until his final breath. Known for his great sense of humor, Mark brought laughter and comfort wherever he went. His presence made life better for those fortunate enough to know him.
He is survived by his loving wife of nearly 41 years, Vicki Pickhardt; his daughter, Nichole McCloud (Gary); his sister, Patricia Foelker; grandchildren, Austin and Abegail; and great-grandchildren, Oliver and Parker.
Mark will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by his family and friends.

Mark was a very special and unique man. He was an inner circle friend for over 50 years. His smile, his laugh and his gentle soul was a gift I am proud to have shared. I can see him in his Karmann Ghia, his sailboat or his trawler just playing guitar and asking if anybody needs anything. That´s Pic... I will miss you my friend and I´ll see you on the other side.

My old friend you will be sorely missed. Whenever you were present the room became brighter and fun was sure to follow. There are so many memories of the wonderful times we shared. Bon Voyage to my dear friend.

A few words about a man that passed my way for a short time, his name was Mark.He was a different kind of man, his first thought would be to help you come up with an idea to fix your problem. You didn´t need to ask him to help you, you would just be talking and then realize that he had already started the task in his mind he just seemed to believe there was always a solution and I found myself starting to believe that in time. I came to realize as I got to know him that he got joy out of just helping people, he had one condition you would have to be willing to laugh and have fun, and if you were lucky enough to have been around him he would share that part of himself freely with you and you would laugh as we all did.
Thank you, Mark and Vicky for the gift of your time and friendship,I was a lucky man to have known you both.

A great light has gone out of this old world with the loss of our beautiful friend, Mark. He had an ability to spread joy and laughter, where ever he was. His love of our amazing planet and the oceans could be witnessed whenever you stepped into the home he shared with his precious Vicky. We are truly blessed and honored that Mark came into our lives and we prayer that one day we will hear that wonderful laugh once again.
