My sincere heartfelt & blessed sympathy goes out to Theresa and the Herding family. I was VERY FORTUNATE to have know Mark over the last couple of years. It didn’t take very long, think it was instantly, to realize the kind and gentle nature that Mark possessed. He is certainly a person that one can look up to and emulate the blessed and loving personality that he had. This is especially true at this time of year where we just celebrated Thanksgiving and gave thanks to what we have individually, our wonderful community and the great country we live in. I hope that we can ALL carry this forward as Christmas approaches. We all know that he will carry this to his life after. I am sadden, will miss him and much love to the Herding family ❤️

Mark was born February 10, 1957 in Paynesville, MN to Jerome and Leone (Manz) Herding. Ever since he was five years old, he helped with quite a few chores on the farm. After graduating in 1975, he continued farming with his dad. On April 19,1980, he was united in marriage to Theresa Gruber, who also grew up on a farm. With the knowledge that both Mark and Theresa were passionate about farming, Mark’s father Jerome decided to retire and offer Mark and Theresa to buy the farm. They did buy the farm, had a family, and their children are going to be the 5th generation living and working on the homestead.
Mark is survived by his wife Theresa of Paynesville, his five children Judy Herding of Paynesville, Greg and Samantha Herding of New Munich, Katie and Kassandra Herding of Paynesville, Mary and Shari Herding of Paynesville and Nick Herding of Paynesville, and seven grandchildren. He is also survived by his siblings Steven Herding of Belgrade, Dhiya and Helen Shaya of Yuma, AZ, Susan and Mike Nienaber of Osakis, John and Theresa Herding of Belgrade and Stephen and Shelly Burge of Lewisville, TX.
Mark is preceded in death by his parents Jerome and Leone Herding, in-laws Frank and Helen Gruber and infant brother Mitchell.
