Auntie Red Sioux Falls s Dakota Markie valued and loved his ( Marlys Austin) ! She told me that not very long ago she called to just say Hi, he was painting a house up on a ladder❤️Came down the ladder to talk to her ! That’s the way he was ! He kept telling her I’m sorry I’m sorry ! He didn’t want to hurt her🙈He adored and loved his siblings . He was there from fixing anything or just a listening ear ! His nephew was getting married Levi called Markie ! Would u marry Crystal and myself ?Markie wasn’t a clergyman but he got the book took the test and did it! I was hoping he could have married some more of his nephews or nieces or cousins! Marlys told me Markie told her awhile back he planned on giving Emma her first car🙏He didn’t want to leave he fought so hard ! Only way I can deal with it is that God called for super awesome carpenter! Rip Markie ! U are going to be missed by so many people for so many different reasons 🙏🙏🙏😢
Playing football w/ Brett in Dave and Dawn's side yard where a garage now sits against Tony Suchecki and Mark on their knees and still losing!
Mark jumping off their front yard stoop like he was David Lee Roth while singing "Panama" was not something I understood because we did not have cable or MTV across the street...However, that was the first time I heard Van Halen and I never looked back!
mark will truly be missed & touched any ones heart he met. His love for his family & how much he treasured time with loved ones was my favorite thing about him. How much he genuinely loved and cared for his family was truly amazing. He is looking down and watching all of us & it’s truly a blessing. thanking god you are out of pain, & with family in heaven. Hate we had to lose you so early, truly he was the best human and deserved to live until 100 :( we will miss him so much, he was the main person in our village & it hurts time was taken from us. praying you’re up there watching over us everyday, because it sure hurts to never be able to see your face again.
Mark also valued being a son, brother, uncle, nephew and cousin. He so enjoyed spending time with our mom, going over and checking on her, taking breakfast to her in the mornings and bringing his beautiful granddaughter Emma over to see Great Grandma Marlys. He loved going to the races with our dad, fishing,boating and camping with him and was there at my dads side while his health declined. Mark was so excited and proud to have twin sisters so much so that when he was in 1st grade he asked our mom if he could bring us for show and tell. Mark never wavered from that excitement and love he had for us, he always made us feel so special no matter what he had going on in his life and always told us how proud he was to have twin sisters. He loved our brothers so much and they meant the world to him. From helping out at brother Daniels house, building him new steps to putting in a new hot water heater, Mark never said no to any of us...he was there for anything we needed. Mark also valued his niece Melissa, her husband Tom and two boys, Brayden and Blake. They were very lucky to have Uncle Mark come to Detroit (where they live) last year and spend time with them, taking a tour of the Detroit fire Department where her husband works as a firefighter. Little Brayden, Blake, Melissa and Tom loved Uncle Mark so much and it truly meant the world to them and Mark to have him visit and now have such a great memory to hold onto!! Mark loved all his Aunts, Uncles and cousins. Although they all live out of state, Mark always stayed in contact with them. Our Uncle Butch and Uncle Steve was just here to visit Mark before he passed and was able to spend some time with each of them. There are so many wonderful cousins that Mark loved and adored with lots of great memories they all shared!!! Mark had a heart of gold and touched each and everyone of us in soooo many ways. He made all of us always feel important and loved, his love was endless and will be missed so so much. Love you Mark from your mom, sisters, brothers, niece, aunts, uncles and cousins!!! You will forever be missed!!!!! MARKSTRONG!
