Mark Thomas Jeshow Kreidler Memorial

On August 3, 2022, Mark Thomas passed away unexpectedly of natural causes. Mark was an exceptional husband, father, and man of God. He was a man of strong faith, compassion and deep love. His house was always filled with laughter, silliness, and fun. Mark was the life of any conversation, the room, or grocery store. He knew no strangers and people just gravitated toward him.

Mark's passing is an enormous loss to many, but no more than to his beloved wife Shari and their girls Margaret and Keegan. In 2019, the family mourned the death of their oldest child, Rhys, to suicide. Though still reeling from his own grief, Mark was the family's source of strength and support. He worked with his daughter Keegan to develop Rhys' Rainbows, a nonprofit to help those struggling with suicide.

Now that Mark is gone, Shari is left to provide for her family's various needs. As a special needs teacher, Shari's income will not be enough to sustain her family, and this fundraiser intends to ensure financial security for Shari and her children.

Please share and donate what you can in Mark's memory. In addition, we ask you to lift Shari and her family in prayer, as they need God's grace and strength more than ever.
