He was a member of Saint Mary of the Assumption Catholic Church, and his faith was central to his life. Above all, Mark was a devoted father to Tracy Spieth and proud grandfather to Evan Spieth.

He is survived by Tracy and Evan of Van Wert; brothers Ron (Cathy) Bohnlein, John (Jane)Bohnlein; and sister Sue (Dean) Donald. He was preceded in death by his parents, infant brother Paul, and beloved companion Bobbi Sterrett.
