It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Mark Spencer at the age of 77. Mark was born on October 14, 1947 in Salem, Oregon to Donald T. and Marjorie Spencer. He grew up in Salem, graduating from North Salem High School in 1965 and Chemeketa Community College in 1970. Mark met his wife, Madelyn, through a mutual friend while cruising the Hollywood District in Salem and they were later married on May 4, 1970.

Mark had a passion for fishing, boating, and photography, and was part of a pool league for many years. He grew up an avid musician, playing upright classical bass, and enjoyed listening to different genres from opera to rock.
