Melody Couch

Hi, my name is Chuck Cochran and I set this Gofundme up for Mark Couch, the surviving spouse of Melody Couch who passed away October 8, 2023.

Mark and Melody have many friends and supporters all over the country, particularly from Tennessee, Florida, and Michigan. Melody's service in Kalamazoo on Oct 26th was amazing with friends lining up out the door at visitation.

Mark has led a life of service and so many of us have been impacted by Mark through the years. He has been a true friend, who has always offered a helping hand, a warm smile, meaningful encouragement, and impactful wisdom. Like his father at the University of Tennessee, Mark is the Lutheran campus minister at West Michigan and has served the students there for many years.

One thing we can all agree on is he is a true friend.

As he makes this life transition, we have an opportunity to tangibly return the favor and serve him as well as he has served us:
