Mark was born on July 14, 1956 to Nicholas and Rosemary (Reinert) Voigt in St. Cloud, Minnesota. He grew up in the St. Cloud area and graduated from St. Cloud Technical High School. Mark was united in marriage to Brenda M. Murphy on July 26, 1980 at St. John Cantius Catholic Church in St. Cloud. Mark worked as a Heavy Equipment Operator for Kraemer North America, retiring in 2017 after 35 years of service. He was a member of the IUOE Local 49 and St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in St. Joseph.
Mark was a loving father and grandfather who loved to spend time with his family and friends. He was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed going hunting, fishing and motorcycle rides on his Harley, “Roni”. His love of the outdoors also extended to the meticulous care he took of his yard. Mowing the lawn was Mark’s “Happy Place” and he took immense pride in how it looked. When not outdoors, Mark enjoyed woodworking, traveling and playing cribbage. He will be remembered for his love of hosting family and friends at the lake, his quick wit and good sense of humor, and unwavering optimism.
Mark is survived by his children, Jackie Voigt, Dan and Jason; granddaughter, Adalynn; siblings, Steve (Debbie), Sharon (Gary) Maus, and Greg (Rochelle); sister-in-law, Janis Voigt; and many nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.
He is preceded in death by his loving wife of 36 years, Brenda; sister, Susie (Wayne) Winkelman and brother, Phil.

Sending our sympathies to all of Mark’s family. Hoping happy memories can bring you comfort. He was always fun to visit with.
Mark nicknamed our group of friends “The Huggers” for a very good reason! We would always hug when meeting each other and again with our goodbyes. Mark was a fabulous hugger with a great sense of humor. We will miss his smiles and positive attitude towards life. Our sympathies to all his friends and family!
Mark made a difference to us and to those that were blessed enough to get to know him. We will remember the good times when he visited us in El Paso with Gary and Sharon. Cattleman’s Steakhouse should have a chair with his name. Always upbeat and jovial no matter what. We loved visiting him in Minnesota and enjoying his fresh caught fish. Mark and his family knew how to host family and friends. We will always be grateful for the times we were able to enjoy his company. Our deepest condolences to his family.
We would like to express our Sympathies to all of Mark’s family. So hard when a person suffers & dies so young. May you hold your fondest memories of Mark & look back on them in the days ahead, Great picture, Just the way he was always had that big smile ! May Mark be reunited with his family in heaven, God bless us all.
