Mark E Carr

Known as "Uncle Marker" by his family, he enjoyed watching the Reds and

Buckeyes. He enjoyed going to the Windsor Senior Center in Marysville with

Lisa, his service provider from the Union County Dept. of Developmental Disabilities, where he enjoyed playing games, making friends, and other activities. He enjoyed his time with Sean, his case manager. Mark enjoyed helping watch grand dog Marley Mae and spending time with Ryan, Stephanne, Aubrey and Amber Smith in Marysville. Mark enjoyed going to Defiance to see his brother Alan, Julie and family for family events.

Mark also liked going to the Great Darke County Fair in Greenville with his family, it was an annual "must do" when he lived there.

Since Mark had Downs Syndrome, he attended workshop in Preble and Darke County as well as retiring from the Winery at Versailles, Ohio. Mark also participated in the Ohio Special Olympics in years past. He was a member of The St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Greenville and a former member of St. John's Lutheran Church in Richmond, Indiana. Mark's contagious smile and ability to make instant friends has left on us a positive influence more than he ever could have known.
