Mark Sears has unexpectedly passed away and his family is going to need help to cover his after-life expenses.

Mark Sears was a well-known and loved member of our community. A talented craftsman, Mark was known for his incredible woodworking skills and the many handmade wooden creations he carved over the years. He was also a huge part of American Kang Duk Won Karate and had a special love for children, especially his grandchildren.

Many will remember Mark for his daily stop at Rt 37 Building Supply for his morning coffee, his familiar "grumpy" yet teasing personality, and the kind and caring heart underneath it all. Mark was truly one of a kind and will be greatly missed by his family, friends, and community.
