Mark’s immediate family includes his wife, Linda Marie (Harms) Grimes and two children: Matthew Alan Grimes of Mountain View CA, and Megan Nicole (Grimes) Befus with her husband Nathaniel Carver Befus of Loveland CO.
Mark met his wife and best friend, Lin while in school at North Platte Community College. Mark and Linda were married on September 12, 1987 in Madrid NE and had just celebrated their 37th wedding anniversary. The couple lived several places in Nebraska, Missouri, Colorado and California.
Mark studied and received his Technical Diploma in Drafting Design and CAD (computer aided drafting). Mark designed printed circuit boards for many companies during his career including Transcrypt (now EF Johnson), Intel, HP and most recently QualComm, often for R&D. He loved the challenge and excitement of helping create new technology. Mark enjoyed his work acquaintances and friends, often joining them for lunch.
Family time was very important. Our regular family video calls were something he looked forward to. Mark was an avid sports fan and went to many games with family – Go Huskers, Go Broncos, Go Giants! Mark enjoyed traveling with his wife and family, music, and movies. Mark was quiet company, so his sense of humor could catch you by surprise.
A celebration of Mark’s life will be held on Saturday October 26, 2024 at 1:30 pm at the Girl Scout Lakeview Cabin, 101 S. Lake Maloney Drive, North Platte NE 69101.
