Mark was a true family man, finding the greatest joy in spending time with his loved ones, especially his grandchildren. Whether as a husband, father, or "paw-paw," Mark’s love for his family was boundless, and he embraced his role with a gentle heart and a caring presence.

In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his son: Mark Lagermann Jr.; daughter: Dawn Blumenfeld; and brother: Alan Lagermann.
