Help Lay Mark Bruffett to Rest

It is with great heartache that I sit here and write this. I am writing this on behalf of Dawn & Lewis, the parents of Anchorage resident Mark Bruffett. Mark left us on Nov. 25th, 2024. Mark was a great kid and had celebrated his 15th birthday earlier this year on May 14th. He was the happiest of kids; he always had a smile on his face and brought a smile to those around him. Mark was an avid model WW2 builder. He loved everything WW2. He would deep dive into the history and make his tank models as realistic and lifelike as one could imagine. He also loved to go fishing and camping with his mother, father, cousin Brandon, and his late uncle Randy. If you said “fishing,” Mark would beat you to the truck with pole and tackle in tow. Mark was learning German and was hoping to one day get to visit Germany. With Thanksgiving just a couple of days away, Mark was looking forward to enjoying the family time and all the food and fixings.

Mark was taken from this world way too soon. No parent should have to put their child to rest. Mark is survived by his mother Dawn, father Lewis, grandmother Betty, cousin Brandon, his uncle Willy, and his 4 dogs.

The family is asking for help with funeral expenses to lay Mark to rest. I am asking for us to all come together at this time and donate what you can. Anything and everything will go directly to his parents and go towards his expenses. If we can show them love and go above and beyond on the donations for the funeral expenses, so that the family can take some time to themselves and be able to grieve, that would be amazing.

I want to thank everyone in advance for taking the time to read this, donating if you can, and for sharing this so that others can see it. If we can get everyone that sees it to donate $1, it will make all the difference in the world at this time.
