Mark Edward Wegman

Mark Edward Wegman, 58, of Tacoma, passed away peacefully on December 29, 2024.

He is preceded in death by his father, Edward Wegman, and is survived by his mother, Judy Wegman, and his brother, Philip Wegman.

Born in Burien, Washington, Mark was the youngest of two children in a family that cherished their faith in Jehovah God and the teachings of the Bible. His faith remained a cornerstone of his character, and he cherished the friendships that blossomed from it. One of those friendships, with Colin Dyke, was especially dear to him — Colin was like a brother, and together they shared many adventures, from skiing and hiking to water skiing, always surrounded by laughter.

Mark spent his formative years in the Ozarks of Missouri, where he cultivated lifelong friendships with others who shared his devotion to Jehovah. He spent many years alongside his father helping others learn Bible truths, building a foundation of faith and service that marked much of his life.

As the youngest sibling, Mark always sought to be considerate and easy-going, eager to avoid causing any trouble for his parents. His warm and good-natured personality made him a joy to be around, and his infectious sense of humor brightened every room he entered. He will be remembered for his ability to make others feel heard, valued, and appreciated, especially during family gatherings, where he made it a point to visit with each person.

Mark married his wife, Connie, in 1992. While he did not have children of his own, he embraced and cared for Connie’s daughters, Shalina and Sharessa, as his own. His love and devotion extended to his role as a grandfather, and the grandchildren looked forward to the many fun and meaningful moments they shared with him.

A dedicated and hardworking man, Mark took great pride in his family’s business. Under his leadership, he grew the company into one that not only provided for his family but also offered opportunities and employment for many others. His work ethic and commitment to those he loved were evident in all that he did.

In recent years, he enjoyed going to car shows with his mother and taking his beloved dog, Jost, on rides in his 1977 Cutlass.

Though Mark faced health difficulties in these last few months, he always kept a positive attitude, not disclosing details, never wanting to burden anyone with worry. Mark had faith in the resurrection promised in the Bible. "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." - John 5:28,29.

We will remember Mark for his infectious smile, quick wit, and his warmth. He was a man who brought light into the lives of those around him, and his kindness, love, and laughter will be missed beyond measure.

A private family memorial service will be held for him. The family wishes to thank all who have supported us through this sad time.
