Most beloved brother and friend to many, Mark Allen Peterson passed away on Saturday, September 28, 2024, in Wichita Falls. Texas.  He was born on May 5, 1955 to Mildred Smith and Edgar Peterson.  He was a resident of Wichita Falls where he lived his whole life.  Mark graduated from Hirschi High School in 1973 where he was a member of the marching band.  He later attended Midwestern University.  He retired from PPG Industries where he was employed most of his career.  He volunteered for many organizations including Interfaith Ministries Food Bank and the Wichita Falls Rotary Club North.  He was a member of Journey of Faith Church and loved his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  He loved to help people and would give the shirt off his back to someone in need.  He loved his many pets through the years including his recent sweet dog, Journey, along with the stray cats that always seemed to find him.  Mark was an excellent cook.  He will be dearly missed.

He was preceded in death by his parents.  He is survived by his sisters, Pam Johnson (Jon) and Tammie Henderson (Mark), nephew Trent Henderson (Kayla), and niece Erin Holly (Dustin), great-niece Lizzy Henderson, many cousins including special cousins Debra Rose and Cathy Peterson, and very special friends Deon Winchester and Pam French.
