Mark Steven Evert was born in Zumbrota, Minnesota, on May 25, 1954. He went to Heaven on April 7, in Pueblo. He was preceded in death by his parents, Ina and Lawrence Evert, sister Patricia Anderson, and brothers Jeffrey and William Evert. He is survived by his brothers Lawrence (Sherri) and Michael (Sharon) Evert, wife Dawn Evert, and children Johnathon (Brianna) Evert and Michelle (Chris) Segura, along with stepchildren Mikaela (Robert) Goodwater and Tyler (Lindsay) Carlock. Dawn and Mark shared eight grandchildren and one great-grandson. Mark moved to the Wet Mountain Valley in 1990, raised his children there, and built countless beautiful homes. He retired to Pueblo two years ago, where he spent his time relaxing and enjoying every day. He had a wild spirit, and his love for the outdoors was contagious. He was an avid hunter and fisherman and didn’t know a stranger. His pride and joy were his children and grandchildren; he will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
A memorial service will be held at the First Baptist Church on Friday, April 18, at 2 p.m. in Westcliffe.
