We are sad to announce the passing of Mark Daniel Stone, 69, of Mound, Minnesota, who passed away on April 19th, 2023 at Methodist Hospital. He was born on October 6th,1953 to Raymond and Irene Stone.
Mark graduated from William Horlick High School in 1971. He went on to pursue a career in the automotive industry, working at Chrysler for 30 years, devoting much of his time as a UAW union leader before retiring at the age of 50.
Mark was a loving ex-spouse to Velia Castillo for 20 years. Together, they raised 3 children, Daniel, Erik, and Jacquelyn. Mark will be remembered for his kindness, loving smile, funny jokes, and deep care for his family. He especially cherished spending time with his daughter. In her younger years pridefully watched her dance recitals, lovingly referring to her as his “tiny dancer.” He deeply enjoyed hunting and fishing with his sons and brothers, soaking up the sun with family in San Diego, and playing endlessly with his grandkids. He loved listening to music, dancing with his family, and rooting for the Packers each Sunday.
Mark is survived by his son Daniel (Andrea) Stone, son Erik (Katrina) Stone, daughter Jacquelyn (Jesse) Stone-Johnson, brother Dennis (Karen) Stone, sister Mary Renteria, sister Janice Winch, sister-in-law Rae, sister-in-law Donna, nieces Becky, Katie, Carissa, Davina, Elizabeth, Michelle, Noel, Natalie and nephews Steve, Mike, Neal and grandchildren Sydney Mark, Mia Jade, Naomi Madeline, Isla Daniel, Luna Sofia, Maxston Walker, and Ezra Julian. He was preceded in death by his mother Irene Stone Wittke, father Raymond Stone, brother David Stone, brother Wayne Stone, brother-in-law Roy Renteria, stepfather Gordon Wittke and granddaughter Madeline Rose.

Sending all my love to the family…so many great memories. Uncle Mark always had a smile, a joke and a kind word. I’m thinking of you all and am comforted to know he’s got some great company waiting for him on the other side.
