He married Marjorie Kohlmeier of Columbus on June 29, 1974, and they settled in Lincoln where they have resided for the last 49 years. Mark worked as a police officer for the city of Lincoln from 1973 through 2002. After taking early retirement he continued in law enforcement working for the State of Nebraska Insurance Fraud Prevention unit. He fully retired in 2019 and spent his remaining years enjoying traveling with Marge, adding stamps to his National Park Passport, camping with family and friends, and spending time enjoying his seven grandchildren. He was a man of God, faithful husband, dad, grandpa, and friend. We will miss him dearly but take heart that he is in the welcoming arms of Jesus.
He is survived by his loving wife Marge and his two children, Ben and his wife Lyn (Klein) and their two daughters and two sons, and Lori and her husband Chad Beerenstrauch along with their daughter and two sons. He is also survived by his mother Erna (Sommer) Wolfe, brother Tom, sisters Marcia, Lisa and her husband Steve Krings, Sandra and her husband Jesse Siffring, and sister-in-law Kathy (Engle) along with nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his father DeVerne and brother Jeff.
