Mark is survived by his children, Sheldon Seifert, Shelbi Ellis, and Matthew Adkins (bonus son); his grandkids, Jayden, Jackson, Delaney and Elijah; his sisters, Christine Schmidt (Mark), Karin Seifert, and Sharon Seifert (Doug). He also leaves behind his nephews; Matthew Wendorff, Kurtis Wendorff (Molly), and Jacob Schmidt (Alyssa); his Aunts, Sherry Wilder and Norma Seifert; Grandfather, Roger Crosbie; along with extended family and close friends.
