Beloved husband of Jacqueline Bohn (nee Gaskill); loving father of Stacy (Brian) Wright; adoring Pop Pop of Davina, Noah, River-Rose; cherished son of the late George and Carol Bohn; dear brother of Dr. Carole Bohn, Bonnie (the late Thomas) Forster, Dr. Tim (Dr. Shelley) Bohn, Daniel (Robyn) Bohn, Peggy (Joseph) Ebert, George (Lorna) Bohn, Robyn (Ron) Jenkins and the late Thomas (surviving Joann) Bohn, Patrick (surviving Patricia) Bohn and Charmaine (surviving Scott) Bender. Our dearest brother-in-law, uncle, great-uncle, cousin and friend to many.
Mark was the heart of our family—the one who made sure no one was ever left out, the one who reached out, checked in, and gathered us all together. He had a rare and beautiful way of showing up for the people he loved, with a steadiness and generosity that never wavered. No one was too small, no need too great, and no distance too far for Mark.
He was the kind of man who would give you the shirt off his back without hesitation, and just as quickly offer his time, his strength, and his hands to help—whether that meant fixing something, building something, or simply being there when it mattered most. He carried a quiet strength and a deeply kind heart, and those who knew him felt both.
He was a partner, a source of constant love, and someone who stood beside you through all things. This past year, even in the face of so much, his courage and spirit never left him. He remained present, grateful, and deeply connected to the people he loved.
Mark leaves behind a legacy of love, generosity, and devotion that will continue to live on in all of us. We will carry him with us—in the way we care for one another, in the way we show up, and in the way we hold our family close.
Memorial Service at Kutis Affton Chapel 10151 Gravois Rd. 63123 on Saturday, March 28 at 4:00 pm. Interment will be held in private.
I miss my friend. I miss the “Markisms” I’m so sad for Jackie, Stacy and his grandchildren.
You were always the best of all of us. Until we meet again my brother.
Mark always made me feel welcome like a dad or uncle.
Conversation always easy.
He always had his Pepsi and lots of flashlights.
Mark was the shepherd of our family—the one who gathered us in and made sure each of us felt seen, supported, and deeply loved. No one was ever too far or too small for his generous heart.
Being your sister has been one of the greatest blessings of my life. I will forever be grateful for the love and memories we shared.
I believe you are now at peace, surrounded by the same love you gave so freely.
Rest now, Mark. You loved so well, and your love will continue to hold all of us together.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you Jackie and family. Mark was a good man. Always there to lend a hand. I will think of him every time I make pizzelles. Rest easy Mark. Love the Ieradi family.
Mark had the rarest of qualities as he was always willing to help just about anybody, not just the ones he cared for. I was the recipient of that help on more than one occasion. I remember calling Jackie and Mark one evening when I came home to a burst water pipe. They were over to my house within an hour with all the equipment needed for a water remediation! If you knew Mark he was always prepared and had all the tools needed for all major disaster events like tornados, electrical storms, flooding, etc. ! When he first settled in NJ from Missouri we often teased him about that, but luckily many of us benefited from that level of preparedness!
You will definitely be missed.
Much love to you and the family,
Deb Sutton
We called him “State farm” Like a good neighbor Mark Bohn is there. From projects at either person’s house or corralling the neighbors to collectively help out the block, Mark was always the big brother of the neighborhood. Neighbor is not enough, Mark was a great friend and confidant, we shared challenges fears and hopes. I can count on one hand with many fingers left over how many male friends ( non family) that I loved, Mark was one of them .
A beautifully written obituary for a beautiful person. I will always think of Mark when I hear the word watchamacallit. He was always available to help, and simply a wonderful person. Thoughts and prayers to all who knew him. Rest in peace my friend.
Mark and I met when his sisters brought him to my house, we were 4 years old. Mark was my first friend, we were together throughout our years at Reavis elementary school. Our lives took us in different directions but we came together again on social media. Mark will be missed by everyone that knew him.
Jackie, I am so sorry. I lost a good friend. I can’t imagine what you are going through. My prayers are witn you and your families…May he rest in Peace.
