Mark Robert Hoffmann passed away peacefully at Unity Point Hospital, Bettendorf, surrounded by his family on Thursday, July 7, 2022. He was born on Feb. 2, 1961, in Davenport. Mark made his home in Long Grove with his wife, Liz. They enjoyed many beautiful sunrises and sunsets in the countryside.
His life’s work was construction, and that legacy is evident through many establishments in our community. His hallmark was quality, and he worked hard to achieve that goal. He was good to everyone, and everyone who knew him recognized that good. Mark’s optimism, sense of humor, kindness, and courage throughout his life was inspirational. Both he and Liz depended on his wit and humor to carry them through many of life’s challenges. He inspired may people along the way and generated smiles and laughter as well as respect.
He leaves behind many lifelong friends who loved spending time in the “garage,” sharing laughs, stories, sports and cocktails. If walls could talk!
He is survived by his wife, Liz; children/grandchildren: Jess Hubner, Brady and Reese; Spencer Ellis (Renee), Calvin and Bella; Collin Ellis (Chelsea), Remi and Mila.
Brothers and sisters: Gary Hoffmann; Mary (Dean) Bender; Betty Carlson; Dave Hoffmann; Joni (Mark) Johnson. Along with his many beloved nieces and nephews.
Mark is welcomed into heaven by his parents, Don and Carma Hoffmann; his brother-in-law, Marv Carlson; and his sisters-in-law, Glora Hoffmann and Pat Hoffmann. If there are cocktails in heaven, it’s going to be a party!
