Give Mark Chase the Farewell He Deserves

Friends, family, and kind strangers,

***update **** 9/14/24- Mark passed away peacefully this evening with his girls by his side.

Our beloved Mark—generous, loving, and the life of every party—has fought a hard but short battle with lung cancer, and while his dad jokes will stay with us to the very end, sadly, his time with us is drawing to a close. Mark’s body is not strong enough to fight this and with his girls by his side in Az, his ventilator is being turned off tomorrow. Even though his spirit is already busy planning an afterlife filled with all the dad jokes he didn’t get to tell his daughters here.

Mark leaves behind two amazing daughters, Emily (17) and Hailey (13), who inherited both his charm and kindness. Now, as they face this difficult time, we want to help them give their dad the farewell he deserves.

We’re hoping to raise funds to cover Mark’s cremation costs and help his girls honor his memory without worrying about the financial burden. Any contribution, big or small, will be hugely appreciated.

We ask that you please respect his families privacy and do not reach out at this time. Kathy, Jen, Emily and Hailey are still mourning the loss of Papa Mark Chase and Marcie Chase. They are absolutely devastated but will reach out when they are ready.

Thank you for helping us send Mark off with the dignity (and humor) he’d want. ❤️

With love,

The Chase Family
