On July 26, 2024, our beloved Mark Lee DeHoff, age 48, got to meet our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 

Mark was born on March 1, 1976, to his wonderful parents Tony and Shirley DeHoff. Mark resided in Jay County his entire life. He graduated from high school in 1994 and married his best friend Jennifer Lee (Rigby) DeHoff on Jan. 13, 2001. 

Mark worked for the Tire Center in Portland for over 20 years and then for Rich’s Auto Repair in Dunkirk for the past three years. 

Mark and Jennifer were blessed with four biological children, Justin Lee DeHoff, 19, Morgan Lee DeHoff, 17, Jaxson Lee DeHoff, 15, and Macy Lee DeHoff, 12. An additional young man, Jake Allen Stegemoller, 18, joined the DeHoff team, as did five international students, Maria Sanchez Martin, 17, from Spain, Alba Badajoz Dominguez, 18, from Spain, Auni Fatinah Nor Hasnan, 18, from Malaysia, Oskar Alart Mateo, 17, from Spain, and Anis Edi Feroz, 16, from Malaysia.

Mark was greeted in heaven by his sister Julie Ann DeHoff and niece Alexus Leigh Gierhart and both sets of grandparents. 

Mark was blessed with so many friends that have become family to mention. 

Mark was a great husband, dad and mechanic. He enjoyed sports, coyote and turkey hunting, and playing cornhole.
