I never had the privilege of knowing Mark, but still want express my to condolences to Stephanie and the family. I am sorry for your loss.
My deepest sympathy to you, dear Stephanie. Marks love for the Lord, his commitment to and love for you, his love for the preborn, his deeply held beliefs and faithfulness to righteousness and truth, his humor – made him such a bright spot in my life. He was a beacon of light in the “midst of this crooked and perverse generation”. How my heart goes out to you. I am grateful his suffering has ended and he now no longer sees “through a glass darkly”, but face to face with our Lord! This world is not our home, and one day soon well all be together, free from the grief of parting. You are ever in my thoughts and prayers.

Mark Mann was a generous person with his time and money. He was a caring person with his family but also with his friends and employees. He had a great sense of humor and could entertain any size group with his quick wit. He was a talented photographer with an artistic eye. He had a deep love for his wife, Stephanie, his father and mother, his in-laws, his brothers, uncles and aunts, cousins, and all the fur babies. He also enjoyed working on his house, cars, and rebuilding vintage stereo receivers, amplifiers, turntables, and speakers. He was a music lover that listened to everything from rock and contemporary to classical and opera. He enjoyed walking with Stephanie and their dogs every evening around their neighborhood. Mark looked forward to driving to a cabin to fish and pray. Above all, Mark was a strong Christian. His faith took priority in his life. His love for God and his trust and belief in Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church was the motivation behind every decision and choice in his life.
Its been a pleasure knowing Mark for the last five years. During that time I came to know him as a fine man who was very strong in his faith. He will be missed.
My condolences to Marks family. I knew Mark in Jr high. He was such a kind friend. I have many good memories of him. May God bless his soul and comfort his loved ones.
He was a wonderful man with such a unique and gifted personality that could soothe the world. Our prayers are with you all.
Mark was as fine a person as I have ever known. He was very effective as the head of Cessnas Audit Department because he truly cared about the company and its employees. Mark made us all better. I will miss him and our occasional lunches. God speed my friend! Mike Shonka
My condolences and prayers for you Stephanie and Marks soul. I only know the both of you from your attendance of the Latin Mass. May God and the Blessed Mother give you peace in your loss.
I worked with Mark for several years at Cessna. His office was just down the hall from mine. He was always uplifting and had a positive outlook on everything.

May the hope of everlasting life bring the family comfort and peace as you mourn the passing of your love one sorry for your loss.
I worked with Mark for several years at KG&E. Mark was proud of his faith and lived his life accordingly. He was kind and caring to everyone he met. He had a unique sense of humor that made our office a fun place to come to work. He genuinely cared about people and loved Stephanie and his sweet doggies. My love and condolences to Stephanie and his family. May God hold you close and comfort you during this time.
I am so sad to hear of Marks passing. I worked with Mark at KG&E. He was a wonderful person and friend. His active faith was an inspiration to me. My deepest sympathies to the family.
I worked with Mark at Giant Camera and Stereo in the early 1970s. We played tennis and had many laughs together. He was a wonderful friend.
I first met Mark as my mentor in Cessna Career Development Program. I found him to be one of the most genuine, positive, humorous, and honest individuals I have ever known. He was a great human being. My deepest sympathy to Stephanie and family.
I met Mark through the pro-life movement in the 90s but got to know him better at Cessna when he moved into an office near me. It was so nice to have someone to talk to that I had so much in common with and he always made me laugh. I will miss you Mark and praying for Stephanie.
I was informed by my former colleague, Deb Peterson of Marks passing. That news was a shock, and in any event I want to extend my deep condolences to Stephanie and to Marks family for a life cut short. I had the pleasure of working with Mark during my tenure at Cessna. Mark was always easy to work with, always colleagial and we always managed to find a bit of humor in our various exercises. I was able to see Marks joy in Stephanie and in her work, and I found through many of our discussions, Marks deep commitment to his faith and I believe it was the cornerstone to his work. Notwithstanding this loss, I wish Mark and Stephanie Godspeed.
I worked with Mark at KG&E. He always treated everyone with lots of respect. He always accepted everyone for who they are and never judged anyone. He had a very caring and loving personality. He also had a great sense of humor that made it fun to come to work everyday. He will be greatly missed. Stephanie and family you are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
I worked with Mark at KG&E. Mark was an inspiration with his faith, caring and humor. It was an honor to know and work with such a wonderful man. My deepest sympathy to his family. May He hold you in the palm of his hand and provide comfort.
Mark had a very positive influence on my life, both personally and professionally. Im truly blessed because of the opportunity to know and work with Mark.
Thank you all for your kind comments about Mark, your prayers, and your concern. Thanks to those who attended his services yesterday. God bless you all. –Stephanie
I was blessed to communicate with Mark and his family when I was one of his mother Roses home health aides many years ago. His love and concern for Rose and others was very evident. Marks loved ones are in my thoughts and prayers. Love in Christ, Sheila
I lived down the street from you several years ago and often chatted with Mark as he walked the dogs. What a friendly face in the neighborhood! My deepest sympathy to Stephanie and family. You are in my prayers.
My name is Simon Packwood. I am very sorry for your loss. I work at Textron as an IT auditor. During my first visit to Wichita to audit Cessna, Mark was exceptionally kind to me, a somewhat nervous new audit team member, and his support in spite of being on the other side of the audit helped ground me and give me confidence in my abilities. I never worked very closely with Mark, but he was always a gentleman whenever we conducted an audit. I think Cessna lost a great team member when he retired.
