Mark Eldon Deal, age 55, of Osceola, WI. He passed away unexpectedly, Thursday, November 30, 2023 at Regions Hospital in St. Paul, MN, surrounded by his family.

Mark was born April 5, 1968, in Hudson, WI.

In 1985, Mark married Debbie and together they were blessed with three children. There was nothing more that he cherished than his daughter and two sons, and his grandchildren later in life.

Mark loved working on vehicles & any small engine. He learned to fix vehicles all on his own. He could tell you what was wrong with a vehicle just by listening to it. There was nothing that couldn’t be fixed or repurposed.

Mark had such a big heart. He was such a gentle, patient, kindhearted, family man. He would give the shirt off his back to anyone. He was always there to lend a helping hand throughout his life, was a jack of all trades and was good at everything. Mark had a knack with all children and animals, they all seemed to take to him instantly. He especially enjoyed spending time with his family, whether it be in person or chatting on the phone for long periods of time. If you were having a hard day, his comforting voice and his goofy personality would instantly change your mood. He had a way of calming the storm. He is dearly missed by his family and friends.

Mark is preceded in death by his brother, Jeff Deal; biological father, Frank Deal; and grand-daughter, Khyla Gates.

He will remain in the hearts of his parents Richard & Judy Hanson; Children: Jackie (Travis) Lane, Mark Deal (Cassy Anderson), and Chris (Stef) Deal; Grandchildren: Brianne Lane; Ryker Gates, Khyler Deal; Connor & Carl Deal; Sisters, Vickie (LeRoy) Koehler, and Judy (Gary) Otlo; and many nieces & nephews; great nieces & nephews; and other extended family and close friends.

Services for Mark will be held privately by family. Mark will be laid to rest at Houlton Cemetery in Houlton, WI.
