He was a member of St. Mary Catholic Church in Muncie. Mark loved his family and enjoyed taking them camping, boating and water skiing. There was never a more loving and loyal son, husband, father, or friend.
Mark is survived by his wife, Susan; two sons, Michael and Matthew; a daughter, Amy; his parents, Royce and Nancy (Gelbke) Adair, of Montrose; a sister, Tamara Adair Hiserote (husband, Jay), Beaverton, Ore.; two brothers, Scott Adair, Munising, Mich. and Brian Adair (wife, Cindy), Danville, Calif.; and he was a dedicated uncle to 11 nephews and eight nieces.
Mark will be fondly remembered by all of his family, his wife’s family of three brothers and three sisters, and a multitude of friends, many of whom were also colleagues (he was a highly respected engineer). He especially loved his job with Saint Gobain.
He was preceded in death by an infant daughter, Megan; his grandparents, Alfred and Mardale Gelbke and Roy and Marie Adair; and his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Harry and Betty Groves, Canon City, Colo., who could not have asked for a more loving son for their daughter, Susan or father of their grandchildren, Amy, Michael, and Matthew.
