Mark Triestram Obituary

Visit the Michigan Cremation & Funeral Care - Grand Rapids website to view the full obituary.

Mark Triestram passed away February 1, 2026 finally escaping a world that insisted on responsibilities, small talk and unanswered group texts. He was preceded in death by his mom Cindy.

Mark leaves behind a collection of people who loved him, tolerated him or both: his dad Donn, sister Becky (Chris), brother Matt, son Andrew, daughter Cassidy, Grandson Oliver, nieces and nephew who will forever remember him as either hilarious, questionable or a bad influence - in the best possible way.

Mark was known for his sense of humor, his ability to survive things he shouldn't have and his talent for making serious situations wildly uncomfortable. He will be remembered for his stories (most of which improved with time), his opinions (rarely requested) and the unmistakable absence he leaves behind.

In lieu of flowers, think of Mark when you laugh at the wrong moment, say that sarcastic thing out loud or ignore the advice that you were never going to take anyway.

He will be missed and he would probably make a joke about that too.
