Mark Schlueter Obituary
Schlueter, Mark T.
October 26, 1954 – November 3, 2024
Passed away suddenly at home on Sunday, November 3, 2024 at the age of 70.
Loving husband of Linda for 33 years. Father of Marcus Schlueter, Marisa Schlueter, Ben and Becky Wideman, and Samantha and Clay Mason. “Grumpy” will be missed by grandchildren William and Abbott Wideman, and Levi and Ellie Mason. Dear brother of Sue and Bob DeSarra of Fairfax NY, Ed (2022) and Diane Schlueter of Greece, NY, John and Romi Schlueter of Madison, WI, as well as many nieces and nephews.
Predeceased by parents Ed and Rose Schlueter, nephew Paul DeSarra, niece Kimmy DeSarra, and mother-in-law Elinor Rau.
Mark was a creative, hands-on outdoorsman. He was the King of Tinkering who always had a project on the go, and was also fondly known as “Bubble Stick Boy” for his precision leveling and attention to detail as a handyman. Mark was always happy to help in the garden – as soon as he figured out a weed from a flower- and even built his own pond, which he was so proud of. He also inspired the next generation with his love of the outdoors as a Scout Leader in Elmira, and was always up for an adventure with his troop. Above all else, Mark lived his life the way he wanted to, and left a trail of many friends. He will be dearly missed.
Following Mark’s wishes, cremation has taken place. In his memory, please wear plaid (his favourite colour) and join the family in celebrating Mark’s life. A visitation will be held on Thursday, November 7, 2024 from 2-4 and 6-8 p.m. at the Dreisinger Funeral Home, 62 Arthur St. S., Elmira. A memorial service will take place at 5 p.m. on Friday, November 8, 2024 in the funeral home chapel, followed by a reception.
Memorial donations to Heart and Stroke Foundation Canada or Scouts Canada – Elmira would be appreciated by the family, and may be made through the funeral home.
