Mark C. Age 56. April 6th, 2016. Dear son of Barbara and the late Reverend Charles Fox, Jr. Loving father of Mark "Chuck" (Amanda), Steven (Nikki) and Brent Fox. Loving grandfather of Luke Fox. Dear brother of Brenda (Eric) Lampela and Bethany (Curtis) Kalina.

Mark Fox was born in Monroe, Michigan on May 21, 1959. He was a man loyal to his family. He married young and fathered three wonderful loving boys, Chuck, Steven and Brent.

He attended Michigan State University and obtained a prestigious degree in Civil Engineering. Mark worked as a Structural Engineer for many years, traveling across the state and working to improve city infrastructure.

Mark loved to fish and garden. He was vastly expanding his vegetable garden and truly had a green thumb just like his mother, Barbara. As his father's health declined, he helped take on the role of caregiver alongside his mother.

In the later years of his life, he became actively involved with a fostering program for Papillon dogs called PapAdopters. He had great love for animals and worked to find a loving and warm home for displaced and abused dogs so that they could live out the golden years of their lives in happiness and comfort.

Continuing the legacy of his late father, Reverend Charles Fox, he continued on the teachings of the Christian faith to his family. He continuously taught his sons the importance of Christ and that through Him we achieve everlasting life.

God blessed Mark and his family with a grandson, Luke Fox. Through him the Fox legacy will continue; his memory and influence will live on through his progeny. He was a loving man and will truly be missed.

HOPE
"... we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope; and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us."

-Romans 5:3-5

"I choose love." ~Mark Charles Fox
