We are saddened to share the passing of Mark Ilten, a dedicated supporter of the Reserve and a board member of the Friends of Schmeeckle. Mark and his wife Karen have been active Friends members since 2018. Mark joined the Friends board last year to share his passion for the outdoors and his professional expertise. His dedication to so many community organizations, including Schmeeckle, was a foundation of his generosity. Mark will be sorely missed.
In lieu of flowers, the family has generously listed several community organizations that donors can give to, including the Friends of Schmeeckle. We truly appreciate that Mark’s legacy continues to support the community he loved.
We wish all of the best to Karen, along with all of Mark and Karen’s family and friends. Happy trails, our dear Friend!
