Mark Sade
December 13, 1973-June 19, 2020
DAVENPORT-Mark passed away suddenly on June 19, 2020 and was cremated in Vero Beach, Florida. He was born to Helga Demko Sade and Harold Sade. He was born and raised in Davenport, Iowa where he became a teacher in Davenport schools and an Administrator in Bettendorf Schools. Mark loved his students and athletes. He coached basketball and football and later became the voice of the Quad City Blues. Those left to honor his memory forever are his wife Heidi Waddell Sade of 27 years, and his three children and their partners: Samantha Sade Wietting (Logan), Abigail Sade (Thomas Davisson), and Axel Sade (Emma Heinisch). His sister Kathleen Sade (Tony Mayne) and their daughter Gracie Sade. We know his spirit goes on in every life he touched. Thank you for all those memories.

Believed in my art but most importantly me and my ability to do better in all things in life, unknowingly when I needed it most. His kind words and guidance meant the world to me and it still does, thank you with all my heart Mr.Sade. You are missed immensely.

I transferred to West High part way through my freshman year and the first class that I had was computer graphics with Mr.Sade, I was never really into art but I enjoyed learning from and working with Sade, I continued to learn from Sade over the rest of my high school experience and I can't thank him enough for not only giving me an outlet to express myself but for helping me discover my artistic passion and letting me learn and bond with him from the moment I met him he took an interest in me and genuinely cared about me I'll never forget him and I'll never forget what he taught me not only about art but about life Rest in Peace Mr.Sade

I always was happy to have Mark as a duty teacher in my room. We had so many good conversations & covered every subject.
He always made me feel like an equal.
Much can be learned from him. Even tho he has passed now, he will never be forgotten. He will be missed by many & please know your entire family is in our prayers. Rest in peace my friend.

Dear Sade Family,
My heartfelt condolences to you all. Can't imagine the shock and sadness you must be experiencing! I was priviledged to work with Mark during his years at Garfield School. He was always kind and friendly. My prayers for you all at this most difficult time.
