Mark Ottomeyer

Mark Ottomeyer, 73 years of age, passed away peacefully on Friday, August 2, 2024 in Jacksonville, Florida.

Mark was born on October 2, 1950 to Alvin and Eileen Ottomeyer, in St. Louis, Missouri. Mark proudly served in the United States Navy as an aircraft mechanic in his early years and later went on to be a draftsman where he spent 30 years of his career at Jacksonville Electric Authority. He was a beloved husband, father, grandfather (Poppy), brother, and friend known for his infectious sense of humor. Mark was extremely creative and enjoyed tinkering around in his garage. He enjoyed spending time with his loved ones, playing poker with his son and buddies, and getting together every week to have a meal with friends. He was a man  full of wisdom  yet he offered a listening ear before giving advice. He had a gentle spirit and loved with his entire being.  His family was his pride and joy.  To know Mark was to love him.

Mark was preceded in death by his parents and his first wife, Ruth Ottomeyer, whom he married in 1974 and together they were blessed with three children. He was survived by his second wife, Virginia Schaefer, his children, Stacy Robbins (Chris), Angela Dugan (Robert), and James Ottomeyer, and his sister, Carol Woody. He will be lovingly remembered by his 12 grandchildren, 3 great-grandchildren, and a large circle of family and friends who will carry on his legacy and hold dear the memories of a man cherished for his wisdom, compassion, and wholehearted love for his family.

Crevasse's Simple Cremation is honored to serve the Ottomeyer family.
