Mark Edward Stauffer

Mark was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan to Beverly and Clara Stauffer. Mark graduated from Sparta High School and served in the Army for eight years as a heavy equipment operator. After his military service, he was employed with Mark's Asphalt, Blanco Furniture, Instant Interiors, and AJ Venaklasen.

Mark was preceded in death by his parents Beverly Stauffer and Clara (Tom) Marshall; and brothers Gordy and Bob Stauffer. Mark is survived by his wife, Cheryl Stauffer; two children Mark (Angie) Stauffer, Amber (Jim) Browneye; five grandchildren Dominic, Hunter, Jocelyn, Olivia, and Emily; siblings Dennis (Sandy) Stauffer, Patti (Chris) VanDyke, Jan (Bob) Becker, Becky Stauffer; and many nephews and nieces.

Mark loved God, family, music, his country, and truly loved his Second Amendment. He worked hard until his sickness took over. But he doesn't want us to remember him that way. He said he wants to be remembered as the entertainer and left us with the message, “I had fun living my version of my life!”

Join us in honoring Mark’s request for joy and not sorrow as we remember him with a celebration of life from 3-7 p.m. Sunday, October 27, 2024 at the American Legion Post 127, 4310 18th St., Dorr, Michigan, 49323. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that contributions be made to Corewell Health Hospice in his memory. The family welcomes memories and messages at www.kubiakcookwayland.com in Mark's online guestbook.
