He was born in San Jose on April 29,1950 to Ed and Edie Walbeck.
Mark was a strong, passionate, hard working, and loving man. He was very proud and protective of his family, always going above and beyond for each and everyone of them.
He was referred to by his family as “Mr. Fix it”, because there wasn’t anything that he couldn’t fix. Mark was an incredibly intelligent man.
He was one of three children. Mark attended San Joaquin Memorial High School where he excelled in football and track. He continued on that same path while attending Reedley College and Fresno State. While in high school he met the love of his life Mary Antonino. They were married for 49 years and welcomed three beautiful children; Kimberly, Kendra, and Clint. Mark loved his family especially his six grandchildren.
Mark enjoyed his daily coffee dates with his close friends at Panera and found great pride in attending football, wrestling, soccer, basketball, baseball, track, pep and dance events in support of his children and grandchildren. He was always their biggest and loudest fan!
Mark is survived by his wife Mary; mother Edie Walbeck; brother and sister-in-law Jeff and Judy Walbeck; daughter Kimberly Walbeck; daughter Kendra Primavera and husband Stephen Primavera, children Brock, Audrey, Bryson, and Bryant; son Clint Walbeck and wife Erin Walbeck, children Wyatt and Raegan.
