Mark was born on June 11, 1957, in Huntingburg to Tony and Selma (Welp) Fleck.

A Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology graduate, Mark had a lifelong passion for problem-solving.

His greatest joy was spending time with his grandchildren, Henry and June, whom he adored. His playful spirit and ability to make any moment special will be deeply missed.
