Mark Junk
Obituary
Mark Edward Junk was born to Edward M. and Sandra Lee (Heath) Junk in Tulsa, Oklahoma on April 6, 1961 and passed from this life March 13, 2011 at the age of 49.
After graduating from Jenks High School in 1979 Mark tried his hand at being a "cowboy for hire" for a bit. Then he joined the Navy and did a little traveling. After that Mark moved to Vegas and learned how to repair slot machines. He finally returned to Tulsa and followed his dad's footsteps in becoming a welder/pipefitter with the union. Mark had a few marriages here and there but finally figured out it wasn't for him. He spent the last fifteen months living with Mom and Dad and they are forever grateful for having some special times with him.
We still listen for your truck,
And expect you to walk in the door,
But we're so grateful Mark,
That your struggle here is no more.
Funny, musical, a thousand good things in one,
We'll catch you on the flipside Bub,
When our lives here on earth are done.
Mark is survived by his parents; his sisters, Kim Marie Wade and Tracy Lee Cotton. A private family service will be held and he will be laid to rest at Calvary Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Sapulpa Animal Shelter, 515 E. Fife, Sapulpa, OK 74066.

I was telling a young man living in a nursing home on the 15 of March how Mark had to put up with all the antics of my brothers. Now I see Mark has gone to heaven. It makes me cry. I will always remember his smile and fun loving ways, and times we had together. Remember that big tree-house we built in our front yard. We had so much fun building that. Even though we where taking all the supplies from the new houses being built, and then the neighbors decided the tree was in their yard and we had to take it down. We use to wait for the school bus together and one year the tree saplings by the stop where limber enough that us kids would climb them and propel ourselves out and let them bring us to the ground. That's how we played tag your it. I am so sorry that my childhood friend, your son and brother is gone. Eddie,Sandy,Kim and Tracy my thoughts and prayers are with you. Love, Jeanette

My nieces and nephew were very talented children. Mark had a natural talent on the guitar. We had a family reunion at my home and we were blessed that Mark was in Tulsa at the time and able to be with us. He and his nephew Don Eddie both played their guitars to entertain at the family function and it made a beautiful memory.

When I was 4 and Mark was 10, he took my tricycle and tied a rope to the handlebars. He tied the other end to the neighbors Labrador. Mark climbed on that trike and the dog took off running full blast. The tricycle turned over and he was dragged about 12 feet down the cement driveway. Mark had strawberries and scabs all down his left side. Kim and I laughed and laughed. He was always tearing up my stuff.
