Mark Jenkins Obituary Published by the Copeland-Hammerl Funeral Home, New Paltz, N.Y. Mark H. Jenkins, age 70, of New Paltz, made a peaceful transition in the comfort of his home on January 8, 2020 after a long battle with Parkinson's Disease. He was born in Akron, Ohio on March 20, 1949 to Faye and Marylu Jenkins. Mark grew up in Akron where he attended Buchtel High School. In his youth, Mark spent many hours in the pool, earning a swimming scholarship to Florida State University where he received a degree in business. Mark loved adventures. He was the type of person that would head into the waves when the winds picked up. He took to the skies in his hang glider, the seas with his sailboat, and to the open road in in anything from the family Chevy van to his sports car. Mark always took care of his family, still providing us with the comfort of his love up until his passing. Mark was humble, gentle, wise, and loyal. When we learn about God, He is often portrayed as a father figure, and Mark made this analogy easy to comprehend. His love and support were constant. He will be deeply missed. Mark was a devoted son, brother, husband, father, and grandfather. He is survived by his wife of 39 years, Martha (West) Jenkins, his two daughters Jenny Jenkins (Erik Stoermer) and Patty Dannemann (Ryan), as well as his grandchildren Daisy and Cole Dannemann. He also leaves behind a brother-in-law John West (Eileen) of Stow, Ohio and their daughters Erin and Anne; Sister-in-law Barb Jenkins of Copley, Ohio and her daughters Katie, Kim, and Annie. Mark was looking forward to being reunited with his parents, his brother Phil, and his dog, Taffy, in heaven.
