Mark Lee Hargrove

Mark Lee Hargrove, age 74, of Grand Prairie, Texas, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, July 30, 2025, in Euless, Texas. Mark was born on February 4, 1951, in Dallas, Texas, to George Lee Hargrove, Jr. and Wilma Jean (Maddox) Hargrove.

A proud graduate of Grand Prairie High School, Class of 1970, Mark went on to serve his country with honor as a military policeman in the U.S. Army for 12 years, spending much of that time stationed in Germany.

Following his military service, Mark earned his associate degree from Mountain View College and worked as a security officer for 12 years. He then pursued a career as a professional truck driver, obtaining his Commercial Driver’s License and driving semi-trucks for 22 years until his retirement.

Mark was a devoted member of Indian Hills Baptist Church in Grand Prairie, where he married the love of his life, Lu Ann Dillon, on April 12, 1986. His life was marked by service, faith, and an unwavering love for his family.

He is survived by his loving wife of 39 years, Lu Ann Hargrove of Grand Prairie; son, James Hargrove and his wife, Krisita of Grand Prairie; sisters, Donna Wilson and her husband Doug of Arlington, and Teresa Patterson of Decatur, Illinois; sister-in-law, Mary Lou Dillon of Euless; and brother-in-law, William Dillon and his wife Colleen of Arlington.

Mark was a proud grandfather to Oliver and Evelyn Hargrove. He also leaves behind three nieces: Stacy Rivera (husband Eddie), Heather Putnam (husband Mike), and Courtney Patterson; eight nephews: Chad Miller, Shaun Miller (wife Jordan), Joshua Miller, Christopher Miller (wife Amanda), Matthew Miller, Cody Patterson, Geoff Dillon (wife Rose Marie), and Matthew Dillon; along with 12 great-nieces and 2 great-nephews.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to the Lewy Body Dementia Association at www.lbda.org, in support of continued research to combat this debilitating disease.

A favorite scripture close to Mark’s heart was Isaiah 43:1-3a:

“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior…”

Mark’s strength, kindness, and faith will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who knew and loved him.

A graveside service for Mark will be held Friday, August 29, 2025 at 3:00 PM at Dallas-Fort Worth National Cemetery, 2000 Mountain Creek Parkway, Dallas, TX 75211.
