Mark Edward Wilke

I met Mark in 1976, we dated through high school and later married. We had two fantastic boys. As we grew older, our interests in things changed and we divorced. Although Mark and I had ups and downs, I always hoped he would find happiness and peace.
A few years later he married a friend of ours. As time passed, I was really glad to see that he and Mary both found happiness together.

When Mary passed a few years ago, Mark was devastated. Then he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s and had other health issues including kidney disease. I’m sad for his passing and feel for his sisters, brother, sons, granddaughter, and all those that will miss him. I am grateful that when he passed he was at home where wanted to be. He wasn’t in the hospital, which some of us had expected a few times. A friend of his was with him, so he was not alone. He is now at peace and with Mary and I’m sure they are both rejoicing. Rest in Peace Mark and Mary 🕊️💞

RIP Mark
Praying for peace and comfort for Louis and Kenneth as well as the rest of your family. Enjoyed the good times we had.

Losing my father, Mark Edward Wilke, has left an immeasurable void in my heart. Dad was more than just a parent; he was my confidant, my guide, and my greatest supporter. His tales, from tranquil fishing trips to the excitement of drag races, were lessons in savoring life’s every moment. As I navigate this sorrow, I find solace in the rich tapestry of memories we crafted together. Each story, lesson, and shared laugh is a testament to a life beautifully lived. While I grapple with this loss, I am eternally grateful for the time we had and the love he bestowed. Rest in peace, Dad. Your legacy lives on in every story shared, every lesson taught, and every heart you touched.
