He’s been the Stadium Announcer for the Spearfish Sasquatch baseball team and the Belle Fourche High School football team. He looks for ways to support the community and has a heart for young people.
Mark became a funeral director for one reason; he cares about people and wants to make a difference in the lives of hurting people. Helping people say goodbye sums up his career. He is always looking for ways to improve and ideas to incorporate into his service. People see that reflected in all the areas of service that Mark and Deb provide. Making a difference in the life of a grieving family is what matters most to them.

Her heart is always at home, but she also enjoys the caring ministry at Leverington Funeral Home of the Northern Hills. You will often see her singing at funerals and helping in many other ways.
