Mark Shannon Wallace, 69, of Springdale, Arkansas, passed away on December 2, 2022 from complications due to covid. Mark was born in 1953 to Gerald Lynn Wallace and Nancy Shannon Wallace in Knoxville, TN. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree at Hendrix College and later started and ran Delta Landscaping, a landscape design and installation company in Hot Springs.
Art was his true lifelong passion, and he remained a prolific creator of diverse artworks and oddities well into his final weeks. He is probably best remembered by friends and family for his artistic skills as well as his idiosyncratic sense of humor and relentless pranks.
Mark is survived by his sister, Rebecca Wallace DeWare of Jefferson, TX; children Sean Wallace of Springdale, AR and Shannon Wallce Norman of Fayetteville, AR; and grandchildren Jasper and Nyssa Norman of Fayetteville, AR and Sophia Wallace of Springdale, AR.
A private service will be held by his children.
If you wish to honor his memory, please consider a donation to an Arkansas non-profit that supports community arts or addiction rehabilitation.
