Mark was born on January 5th, 1961. He died of natural causes in his home at the Brazos River in Rainbow, Texas alongside his beloved dog Bella on June 6th, 2023, at the age of 62.
Preceding Mark in death was his loving wife of 22 years Nancy Ann Hinton Pardue, his mother Linda Bell Brown of Rainbow, Texas, his father Robert Pardue of Trinidad, Texas, and his Stepdaughter Amanda Nicole Miller of Sunnyvale, Texas.
Mark was survived by his first-born Domenica Nicole Pardue McCoy and husband Chad McCoy of Dallas, Texas. Son Joshua Mark Pardue of Rainbow, Texas. His Stepdaughter Ashley Nicole Stanton of Mesquite, Texas. And his youngest son Zachary Allen Pardue of Sunnyvale, Texas, his brothers, Michael Pardue, Todd Pardue, and Ronnie Pardue. Stepmother Joanna Pardue.
Mark loved his children and stepchildren the same, with every bit of his heart. He received 12 grandchildren from them. Domenica’s Rebekah-Jayde, Nathan-Ryan, Roxy-Diesel, and twins Saylor-Moon & Pyper-Rose; Amandas Tyler; Joshuas Scarlette River Pardue and twins; Ashley’s Hunter, Kennedy and Caroline. And one great grandson from Rebekah-Jayde, named Toby.
Mark held pride in his hard work. He was a simple man a lover not a fighter and cared exceptionally for Miss Bella and his family. He kept close to his mother and his brothers and enjoyed a simple life. Housework was enjoyable for him, he kept Nancy’s teapot collection washed and yardwork in line, loved his zero-turn mower, if he heard kids were coming, he would clear out the yard of stickers all the way to the river. He was strong willed and a crafty wood builder whether it be birdhouses, a shelf, swing or bench always turned out beautiful because he just enjoyed making things look nice, He is sorely missed. He had a kind comforting voice with words of wisdom that is missed immensely.
While Mark filled his day with working hard, he always concluded with an evening at Georges Creek Cemetery with Bella, where he sat on the bench that he and his late wife placed by the Oaktree where Nancy and Grandmother now rest side by side.
