Mark Steven Hernden's Obituary
Big Rapids -Mark Steven Hernden, 56, of Mt. Pleasant, beloved son, brother, and uncle passed away Sunday, October 31, 2021, at Mid-Michigan Medical Center in Alma.
He was born December 4, 1964, in Mt. Clemens, MI the son of Ronald and Terri (Vennard) Hernden.
Mark had the special ability to see life through the eyes of a child, allowing him to live fully and with all of his heart. Big trucks, pontoons, quads, and tractors were his favorite mode of transportation, and he thoroughly enjoyed spending time outdoors, especially in the woods. He loved using his hands to express himself, whether that was through doing a puzzle or swaying them to the music at church. His dog, Kaleb, kept him company every day, and was truly his best friend.
Left to cherish his vibrant memory are his mother, Terri; his siblings, Jeff (Delcy) Hernden, Tammi (Chris) Tellkamp, and Matt (Nancy) Hernden; his grandmother Joyce Anderson; nieces, Monica (Jon), Faith, and Rebekah; nephews, Jon (Cassie Jo), Kyle, Brandon, and Tim; great nieces and nephews, Amelia Mae, Sophia, and Oliver. Mark was preceded in death by his father, grandpa Joseph, and nephew Joseph.
A Memorial service will be held at 1 p.m., Saturday, November13, 2021, at Christian Life Ministries with Rev. Kevin Yeager officiating.
