Mark Dugrenier Obituary

Mark Dugrenier who entered into Heaven on Friday, June 17, 2016 after a long battle with an infection that eventually took his life. He passed away in the comfort of his own home with his beloved husband, Jeffery Gordy by his side. He was a remarkable man, a very giving person, loving husband and friend. Family was very important to him. He was an accomplished Chef with an award winning catering business, Refer-A-Chef Catering. He supported many non-profits and organizations and was a hero to many, but most of all to his husband. He is survived by his husband Jeffery Gordy, his mother Nancy Dugrenier, father-in-law Cecil Gordy and a countless number of family and friends. His Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday July 9 from 4-6pm at Shepard Garden and Arts Center, 3330 McKinley Blvd, Sacramento, CA 95816. In lieu of flowers, the family are asking for donations to cover his final wishes and expenses. You are my Angel now - and with these wings we fly together!!!

Now Mark is resting and has become pure light and joy. With time that light and joy will reach everyone that loved him and ease a bit of the loss. The pain and missing never goes away but rendering homage to his legacy can be healing and help spread the joy and light he was in life that is now even brighter.
