    To Mark’s family: Mark graduated one year before me from Westby High School, and I believe my mother (Hazel Lee Anderson) was distantly related to your dad. I’ll always remember how kind and funny Mark was. Although I haven’t seen him in years, I feel so sad to hear about his death. Rest in peace, Mark. Gone too soon.

  5. Michelle and Justin Blankenship

      Mark and I had an amazing relationship in high school and the years of college and beyond. Mark was my best man in our marriage. We enjoyed choir, band, school plays and countless trips to the New Villa for their Friday night Fish Special. Because we would leave after Mark finished chores, we always arrived to an overflow restaurant. Mark would give his name for our reservation. For the past 40 plus years, I have always given “Mark Lee” as my name when needing to leave a name for a reservation. No one could spell my name but they never asked how to spell, “Mark Lee.” Our Christmas was never complete until Mark would come to our house where my mom had prepared his favorite bar. Again, for the past 50 years, we have always celebrated with “The Mark Lee Bars.” My all-time favorite memory was Christmas our Senior year of high school. Our Explorer Troop had a fundraiser that involved Santa Claus bringing presents to young kids at their homes. Mark made a perfect Santa Claus and it was my job to take him from house to house. I have never enjoyed watching the interaction between Mark, as Santa and those wide-eyed young people. There was not a nicer, caring and hilarious friend. He is now playing golf and enjoying a cup of coffee and visiting with my mom while they enjoy “Mark Lee Bars!”

        Thank you so much Paul. He often spoke of your friendship. I recall the Santa story. We were home for Xmas and he scared Chad our little one at the time. Describe the Mark Lee bars for me.

    My husband and I are deeply sad to hear of Mark’s recent unexpected passing. Mark has been a lifelong friend since he first came to Grinnell and taught school with my husband. Even though he left to pursue new careers he always kept in touch. We just recently spent time with Mark and now we are so blessed to have seen him. He seemed to be doing very well so this is a shock for us
    Please know he is missed.

    I am so sorry to hear of Mark passing away. He and I went to school together all 12 years. Have great memories of him. He was such a kind person. My sympathy to all of you in this difficult time. Irene(Holen) Wood.

    To David and and Jeannie: hi it’s Linda, remember marks roommate in Summit County Colorado? I was just fooling around today on my phone because it’s so cold I wanted to be inside and warm and I was thinking about Mark. I just typed in his name Westby Wisconsin and I found an obituary. I thought maybe he had left this Earth before me, thought I didn’t realize how long he lived after we lost touch with each other. I’m sitting here going through all the memories we had when you came to visit, all the I thought strange Wisconsin food and lighting the candle in the bathroom. I think of your boys often and how they must be wonderful man by now. Yes I would like to converse if possible maybe share some good memories time Mark and I spent together in Colorado. Contact me if you’d like. Linda
