Marcus Ray Sanders

December 31,1957 to March 5,2013

Resident of Danville

Mark succumbed to complications as a result of a dog bite. He was born in Stockton, CA and grew up in San Jose, CA where he completed his education. Mark spent his adult life working as a drywall estimator with projects ranging from humble homes to high rise buildings and large public school campuses. Seeing the completion of these structures was rewarding to him. He enjoyed his many travels with his family, riding his Harley and driving his bright yellow Corvette. He was fond of family pets, home update projects and family BBQ’s. He is survived by his wife of 22 years, Elaine, the source of his strength and daughter, Tiffany, the apple of his eye. Any man can be a father but it takes a special man to be a dad. He leaves behind his parents Donald O and Shirley Sanders; sisters Pat Bozzuto (Dan); Becky Lowe (Randy), and brother John Sanders (Debbie). He is predeceased by brothers Ronald Sanders and Donald D. Sanders. Mark will be remembered for his ready smile and kind gentle spirit. Always understanding of others, he never condemned or judged their actions. He will be sorely missed and fondly remembered by all. Funeral will be held Fri. Mar. 15 at 11am at Lima Family Santa Clara Mortuary, 466 N Winchester Blvd. Interment in Santa Clara Mission Cemetery.
