Mark Edward Fowler passed away at his home on Sunday, April 27, 2025, from natural causes. He was born in Boulder, Colorado, on June 6, 1960, to John E. and Elaine F. (Crofford)Fowler.  Mark grew up in Boulder, biking, roller-skating, fishing, and camping in the area's mountains -- all of which he also enjoyed in Idaho.  He especially enjoyed his previous travels to Japan and more recently, to Hawaii.  He enjoyed music from ABBA to Led Zeppelin and everything in between. Some of his favorite movies were John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, the James Bond 007 series, and the Die Hard series.

 Mark served in the U.S. Army and Army National Guard, gaining the rank of Master Sergeant. He completed boot camp at Fort Leonard Wood, MO, then served in Fort Leavenworth, KS, Turkey, Fort Carson, CO, Baumholder, Germany, Fort Benning, GA, and South America, until retiring. 

 His work career extended to Simplot, McCain’s, C.R. England, May Trucking, and WillTran Trucking -- traveling through most of the states with a variety of loads. 

 Mark met the love of his life, Susan M. Henscheid, in Leavenworth, KS, at a mixer (dance) in December 1980, and they married on February 17, 1982.  Mark and Susan had four children: Stephanie, Steven, Frederick, and Francis. 

Mark is survived by his wife, Susan, and their children:  Stephanie, Steven, Frederick (Johnna), and Francis. Also, his grandchildren, Ayoven, Pherric, and Jaelyn, whom he dearly loved; his mother Elaine Fowler, brothers Kenneth and David (Glenda) Fowler;  his step-siblings Kelly (Heather) and Michele (Mark);  and half-siblings Christian (Cari) and Nichole (Andy), and their children; and his stepmother, Rae Fowler.  Also, he is survived by Susan’s mother, Carol G. Henscheid, Susan’s siblings and their spouses, children, and grandchildren -- too many to name here.

 He was preceded in death by his father, John E. Fowler, in 2004, his grandparents, his grandson, Josiah A. Hotchkiss, and his father-in-law, Jim J. Henscheid, both in March 2017. 

Mark’s services will be at Saint Nicholas Church on Saturday, May 17, 2025. There will be a brief viewing at 8:30 am, with rosary at 9:00 am, and Mass to follow at 10:00 am with Military rites following. Everyone is welcome to a light lunch at Minidoka Senior Center after the service until 2:00 PM.
