Wark, age 84, who passed away Saturday, November 22, 2025 at the Veterans Administration Medical Center in St. Cloud.
Steven was born June 19, 1941 in Woodside Township to John Sr. and Ruth (Wright) Wark. He honorably served his country in the United States Army from 1959 – 1962, and was stationed in Germany for two years. He married Sharon Harmon on June 6, 1964 in Henning. Steven worked as a machinist and lived in the Avon area for most of his adult life. His dry yet playful sense of humor was a source of joy to those around him. Steven's faith was very important to him. He enthusiastically studied scripture and actively served in various roles within the former Sauk Rapids Alliance Church. Some of his hobbies included reading, puzzles, and Sudoku. Steven was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed deer hunting, fishing, hiking, snowmobiling, and being in nature. He loved facing the challenges of difficult problems and bringing them to completion no matter the field or area of expertise. Steven was a history buff with a passion for learning about the Civil War battlefields, the soldiers involved, and historical traveling.
We are confident that to be absent in the body is to be present in the Lord. (2:Cor. 5:8)
