Mark Steven Srenaski

It is with a mix of tears and laughter that we remember Mark Steven Srenaski, who passed away on August 27, 2025, in Salem, OR. Born in Green Bay, WI, Mark was known for his loyalty, integrity, directness, and sense of humor. He loved making connections, sharing joy, and making people laugh.

Mark spent most of his career in IT before switching to real estate appraisal, founding American Dream Appraisals, a venture he was proud of. His professional journey was marked not just by success but by the integrity, kindness, and humor he brought to every interaction, making a positive impact on those he worked with.

To his family and friends, Mark was a blend of humor and heart. His favorite phrase, "You know, there are more horse's asses than horses in this world!" always came with a twinkle in his eye and that big, booming laugh we all cherished and couldn't help but join in on. He was a funny, mischievous, self-deprecating teaser with a huge heart and loved making others laugh. Mark's playful spirit brought light into the lives of everyone fortunate enough to know him.

Mark was a man of many interests. He loved watching Fox News, passionately debated politics (perhaps a bit too passionately at times!), and treasured his travels to beautiful places such as Maui, Lake Tahoe, Las Vegas, and San Diego. He was a man of faith and loved his church family, often serving as an usher or on the campus security team. His loyalty to the Green Bay Packers was unwavering, and he was never shy about sharing his thoughts on their performance!

Mark was also a proud Eagle Scout, a testament to his commitment to leadership and community, values he instilled in those around him. He remained sober for an impressive 38 years, serving as a mentor and sponsor to many in Alcoholics Anonymous. Many claim that without Mark, they wouldn't be sober and thriving today. His commitment to helping others find their paths to sobriety is a testament to his character and will forever be a part of his legacy. 

Mark's wife, Christie, has described his deep love for her as "humbling". He was truly "God's love with skin on". He was a proud father to his two daughters, Amy Wolfe and Lori Stock, and a dedicated brother to his siblings Julie Namz, Sue Vine, Randy Srenaski, Kevin Srenaski, Doug Srenaski, and Kim Felton. The Srenaski family is a large and loving clan, filled with countless relatives (too many to mention, unfortunately!) who adored him, and the feeling was mutual. Family was everything to Mark.

Though he is no longer with us, Mark's spirit, laughter, and warmth will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him. So let us remember him in joy, laughter, and the good times shared.
