Obituary
Age 68, passed away Tuesday morning, June 7, 2022. Mark was born in Columbia, SC, on December 20, 1953, the son of Jack Stuart and Nancy Ann (Mowbray) Duncan. On June 28, 1975, he married Patricia Reist who survives him. Mark enjoyed fishing with friends. He also enjoyed travelling and playing the lottery. He was an avid member of Bronson Athletic Club. He worked for many years at Mastercraft Corporation, and later owned a cleaning company with his mother-in-law, Jutta Reist. He also worked at Borgess Hospital in environmental services. Besides his wife, Mark is survived by his brother Gregory (Vicky) Duncan of Kalamazoo; sister-in-law, Kim Duncan; nieces and nephew, Randy Duncan, Amber Duncan, Emily Duncan, Angela Duncan; several great-nieces and great-nephews; and countless friends. He was preceded in death by his parents; and a brother, Gary Duncan.
So many good memories of times with Mark and Pat. We’ll miss him.
I was saddened to hear of Mark’s passing today! What an absolutely great guy that I had the pleasure of knowing from the athletic club. I saw Mark nearly every day and we became good friends. When he wasn’t there, people would ask where he was. Always laughing and shooting the breeze about whatever came to mind. I will miss him so much and I hope that the family finds peace!
Mark will be missed at the Bronson Athletic Club. Mark and I were on opposite sides of the political spectrum and had some interesting conversations. We also fought over which news channel to display on the locker room TV. May Jesus help Mark’s loved ones in their sadness, sorrow and grief.
I worked with Mark for 14 years at Mastercraft. We shared a lot of good times. I really liked his political perspective as a Never- Trumpie and as a Union Guy back then and now, Our mutual friends Len and Nancy were our conduit to regroup 30 some years later. I’m glad to have hooked up with Mark and Pat in my later life. May God rest Mark’s precious soul.
