Mark Richard Union's Obituary
Mark Richard Union was born on October 12, 1963 to the union of Lawrence and Evelyn Union. He was a loving father who entered eternal rest on July 27, 2016 at his home surrounded by family, friends and loved ones. Mark was preceded in death by his father, Lawrence Union.
Mark attended the Albion public schools and graduated from Albion Senior High, where he earned a certificate of completion from the welding program at the Calhoun County Area Vocational School in Battle Creek, Michigan. He earned his Associates Degree in electrical technology from ITT Technical Institute in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
