Mark Strauss

07/27/1953 - 10/24/2024

"It pains me to admit it, but apparently I have passed away, and I'm pissed about it", the earthly signoff of Mark E Strauss, 71, who is now on the radio somewhere in the great beyond. "Everyone said it would happen one day, but that's simply not something I wanted to hear, much less experience. If you want to, look for me in the evening sunset, on a cruise ship, with a Patron margarita in hand. You know I'll be there in one form or another. This will probably comfort some while antagonizing others, but you know me, it's what I do. Any questions, sorry too late."

Mark is survived by his wife Jeri, daughters Rebecca Dodge and Stephanie (Matthew) Perry, and his beloved granddaughter, Reece, who called him "Dude, as well as two chair/bed hogs Oscar and Koda.
