Mark E. Crocker, of Spokane, WA passed away unexpectedly October 10. He was born in Spokane, WA on January 29, 1961. Mark graduated from East Valley High School, class of 1979. He had a long career as a manager at Lowe's and then at his family's business for several years. Mark was an avid fisherman and loved being outdoors. He enjoyed camping, four wheeling, playing poker and spending time with family and friends, especially his daughters Danielle and Desirae along with his beautiful granddaughters Kyla, Karisa and Kinsley. Gramps loved watching them and cheering them on at all their sporting events. He was a sincere, warm person who found the good in everyone. He made a lasting impression on every single person he crossed paths with. Gramps and Uncle Mark will always be remembered by his "SQUISH AND A KISS". One thing that we will never forget about him was his witty sense of humor, laughter, and infectious smile. Mark will lovingly be remembered by his mother Gayle Crocker, daughter and son-in-law Danielle and Jeremy Wallis, daughter Desirae Crocker and step-daughter Rachel Castelman, grand daughters Kyla, Karisa and Kinsley Wallis, sister Cheryl (Rob) Wyatt, brother Nick Crocker, twin sister Marci Crocker, very special friend Victoria Keehner, several nieces and nephews, and extended family and friends. Mark is preceded in death by his father Ray Crocker and both maternal and paternal grandparents. "Seeing death as the end of life is like seeing the horizon as the end of the ocean". Funeral services will be held at Hazen & Jaeger Valley, October 20, 2018 at 11:00am followed by a celebration of life at Valley Mission Park. In honor of Mark's love for Hawaii, we will be celebrating his life Hawaiian style. Please wear casual Hawaiian attire.
