With heavy hearts my husband (Seth Miller) and I share the devastating loss of his best friend Mark Loos. A friendship they had for 40 years. Mark died unexpectedly on June 26th at the University of Iowa Hospital.

This unimaginable loss impacts so many of his loved ones, but especially Sonyia who will be navigating life without her husband and best friend. During this difficult time, we want to do anything we can to help ease the burden on his family so they can focus on what matters most—honoring Mark. Funds raised will go directly toward funeral and memorial expenses, medical bills, and to support Sonyia.

If you knew Mark, you knew the kind, lighthearted and funny guy he was. Sonyia and him were recently married in May 2022. He loved Sonyia with everything and I know without a doubt he would want her to be taken care of.

So as a community, we invite you to support the Loos family in any way you feel called — through a financial gift, a prayer, or by sharing this campaign. No amount is too small, and every act of support means more than words can express.

A Celebration of Life will begin at 2:00 p.m., on Saturday, July 26, 2025, at The Cabin. (2326 Echo Ave. Letts, IA 52754)

If you would rather send something in the mail I am including Sonyia & Mark’s address below:

763 N Perkins St.

Lone Tree IA 52755

Thank you for walking alongside this family during their time of unimaginable grief.

Seth and Erica Miller
