Mark Stephen Perez, 66, of Parsons, died at 7:51 a.m., Saturday, May 1, 2021 at the Overland Park Regional Medical Center in Overland Park.
He was born May 30, 1954, in Parsons, to Mike and Connie (Gonzalez) Perez. He graduated from Parsons High School in 1972. After high school he moved to Wichita and worked in retail while taking classes at Kansas Newman College. He moved to Kansas City and began a career in construction for almost 30 years.

Mark returned to Parsons where he assisted with maintaining his childhood home and being the live-in caregiver to his parents. His experience in retail and construction along with learning about small engine repair from his dad made it a perfect fit when he started working at Ace Hardware in 2015. He always had a smile on his face and was willing to help you out.
Mark loved to golf and was also an avid baseball and football fan. He loved his Kansas City Royals, Chicago Cubbies and Kansas City Chiefs. Mark also loved to cook and was famous for his cheesecakes.
