GARAMENDI, MARK R., December 23, 1960 – May 23, 2008

Mark was the only child of Palma Pearson and Ray Garamendi. Mark saddled up and went home on Friday, May 23, 2008.

Mark’s whole world was his kids, Randi, Brett and Savannah, and his soul mate, Leisa. Together they laughed, loved and lived life.

Mark loved the outdoors, P.B.R., country music and being with friends and family. He spent much of his life as a welder and loved the time he spent working in Alaska.

Mark gave unconditionally to everyone he met. His love and friendship was abundant and he will be missed by everyone he touched. He loved to be busy and he loved to help others. Mark was a friend to all.

He was preceded in death by his mother.

A celebration of his life was held May 28, 2008 at Lindquist’s Layton Mortuary.
