Michael "Dan" Markham, age 66, passed away peacefully on April 4, 2025. Born on September 14, 1958, Dan lived a life marked by deep faith, strong family ties, and a love for adventure.
Dan was a devoted husband, father, son, sibling, coworker, and friend. He loved God and found his greatest joy in spending time with his family. Whether gathered around a campfire, taking a lake trip, hitting the road on a motorcycle, or simply cooking a good meal, Dan brought warmth, laughter, and heart to every moment.
He was a man who thrived on staying active and connected to the people and things he loved. From the gym to the shooting range, from family road trips to quiet time outdoors, Dan lived life fully and generously.
Dan was preceded in death by his grandparents, William and Helen Snider, and his beloved daughter, Lacy Markham.
He is survived by his loving and devoted wife, Lisa Markham; his children, William Markham and Brylee Markham; his parents, Douglas and Wanda Markham; and his sisters, Michelle Salzman and Kara May.
A public viewing will be held on Friday, April 18, from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Mercer-Adams Funeral Service.
Celebration of Life services will take place on Saturday, April 19, from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Nellis Vineyards, 21204 Bogie Rd., Edmond, OK 73012 (nellisvineyards.com), with graveside services following at Spring Creek Memorial Cemetery at 3:30 p.m.
