He leaves behind his wife of 37 years, Christine F Sommer. His sons, whom he loved with all his heart, Nicholas Mark Sommer and Jacob Raymond Duane (Beth) Sommer. Mark also leaves behind his parents Stan and Jean Sommer of Albion, Michigan and his brother Steven (Rachele) Sommer as well as several aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews, brother-in-laws, sister-in-laws and cousins.
Mark was firm in his belief of God, Family and Country. After graduating from GVSU, Mark proudly served his country in the US Army National Guard. Through his career at Standard Lumber he developed strong relationships with his clients and coworkers who were more like family than friends. He was grateful to his extra sons and loved when they called him for advice or shared whiskey. When you walked into his home the first time you were a guest, after that you were family. If you were a part of his life, you were family and he strived to take care everyone.
A Celebration of Mark’s Life will be held on Wednesday June 15, 2022 at 4:00 p.m. at the home he shared with his family. For more information please contact his family directly.
