Mark James Williams “Cowboy” passed away while surrounded by his family on Thursday, July 16, 2020. He was 61 years old.

Mark was the fifth child born to the late William and Dorothy Williams on August 19, 1958. He grew up in Orem, Utah and graduated from Orem High School in 1977. On September 11, 1981, he married the love of his life, Ann Sorensen. The couple moved to Spanish Fork and Mark began working at Klune Industries as a machinist and continued to work there for 37  years. Together, they raised two sons, Colton and Bryson, whom Mark considered his best friends. His family was everything to him. He was so proud to be a grandpa and cherished every second spent with his grandchildren.

Mark’s smile and contagious laugh could light up a room. He had a spontaneous personality and passion for living life to the fullest, never holding back.  He was always planning his next big adventure, scouting out places he had never been and looking forward to where he would travel next. He loved spending time outdoors- farming, 4-wheeling, camping, hunting, and fishing. Whether it was going for a ride up the canyon or branding cows, he enjoyed sharing these moments with his family and friends.

Mark had the ability to make friends everywhere he went and was widely recognized for his positive attitude, kindness, and ability to make the best out of every situation. He found pride in working hard and possessed an inner strength to finish strong, an attitude that carried over into everything he did. If there was a job to be done, no matter how large or small, you knew Mark would be the first person there with his sidekick in tow, Molly, his four-legged partner in crime. He was always the last person to leave, making sure he gave it all he had. Every day, he would call his boys to find out what the plan was for the day or what their next project would be.

Mark belonged to a large family, who all loved him very much. Words cannot adequately express the joy he brought to our lives and how much he will be deeply missed by everyone. He is survived by his wife: Ann; two sons: Colton (EmmaLee), Bryson (Kristen); three grandchildren: BrennaLee, AddaLee, and Rhett; as well as numerous brothers, sisters, brother-in-laws, and sister-in-laws.

The funeral services will be a closed visitation for Mark’s family on Wednesday, July 22, 2020 from 9:00-10:30, at Walker Funeral Home, 187 S. Main St. Spanish Fork, Utah. A graveside service open to all friends will follow at 11:00 at the Spanish Fork Cemetery, 420 S. 400 E. Spanish Fork, Utah.
