Mark J. “Fuzzy” Sherfinski, age 69, of Kenosha, passed away on Tuesday, September 26, 2023, following a long battle with cancer.
Mark was born in Kenosha on May 11, 1954, a son of the late Harry and Irene (nee: Organist) Sherfinski. He attended Kenosha schools and was a 1972 graduate of St. Joseph High School.
On October 8, 1988, at St. Mark the Evangelist Catholic Church, he was united in marriage to Sharon L. Neu.
He was employed as a truck driver, beginning his career with Coca Cola, and retiring from Standard Forwarding after thirty years of service.
Mark was a member of St. Elizabeth Catholic Church. He enjoyed the time he spent with friends in the sun. Mark enjoyed fishing, golfing, and coffee clutching with his buddies. He loved to make pierogis, fish fries, and kielbasa for his family. He was a fierce cribbage player with the guys, but a softy when it came to his grandchildren and family. He would often play the role of Santa Claus at the holiday get together. He never missed a family event, always greeting everyone with a hug and a smile.
Survivors include his wife, Sharon; his two sons, Kevin (Jamie) Pecha, and Kenny (Rebecca) Pecha; his daughter in law, Bobbie Pecha; his grandchildren, Jason, Josh, Kasey, Korey, Ollie, and Max Pecha; great grandchildren Evie and Otto Pecha, and his siblings, David (Linda) Sherfinski and Mary Ann (Randy) Coleman.
Mark is further survived by his loving brothers and sisters in law, Barbara (Norman) Mecozzi, Bernie (Nickie) Neu, Jeanne Ryan, Dale Neu, Thomas (Sheryl) Neu, Teddy (Judy) Neu, Timothy (Betty) Neu, Anita (Tony) Conley, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
Along with his parents, Mark was preceded in death by his son, Kelly Pecha; a sister, Carol Hernandez, and a brother, James Sherfinski.

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Mark. He touched so many lives and will be thought of often and loved forever. May your many wonderful memories of Mark’s life be of comfort. This Bible verse recorded in John 5:28 has been of comfort to our family. It reads “all those in the memorial tombs will hear his (Jesus Christ) voice and come out “. May God Jehovah give strength and his love to each of you.
