SCHAEFER, Mark Leslie
October 24, 1962 — October 30, 2024
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the unexpected loss of Mark Leslie Schaefer, who passed away on October 30, 2024, at the age of 62, while doing what he loved.
Left to hold him dear to their hearts are his beloved wife of 32 years, Jacquelen “Jackie”; their children Tanner (Ali) and Alyssa (Shawn); his mother Joyce Schaefer; mother-in-law Theresa; Uncle Don King and Barb Craig; along with many close friends and family who will miss him greatly.
He now goes to join those who passed before him, including his father Leslie Schaefer and father-in-law Wendel Zarr.
Mark was a devoted husband and father who filled his life with activity, love, and joy. A true sports enthusiast, he enjoyed baseball, hockey, working out, and skiing, sharing his passion for the slopes as a ski instructor. His kids fondly remember the “whale” 5-cent candy he’d reward them with if they made it to the bottom of the hill. Mark was also a country music fan, and he enjoyed watching CrossFit, relaxing by the pool, sipping tequila, and cracking open a can of Busch. He had a special place in his heart for his grand-dog, Cooper the Lab, and his love for Christmas and holidays was evident to all who knew him. Mark’s favourite moments included trips to Disneyland with his kids, vacations in Mexico, and family concerts, like the Jordan Davis concert he attended with his family just last weekend. His trip to Tulum last October for his daughter Alysa’s wedding was one he cherished above all. Known for his kindness, patience, and love, Mark’s memory will be treasured forever, and he will be missed beyond words.
A Memorial Service in Mark’s honour will be held at a later date. Details to be announced.
In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
