"Really. no response"
In loving memory of
Mark Engebretson
September 21, 1955 - March 17, 2013
STEVENS POINT/ McFARLAND - Mark Engebretson, age 57, passed away at his home surrounded by loving family on Sunday March 17, 2013. Mark had been battling a very aggressive form of cancer the past few months.
Mark was born in Stevens Point, on Sept. 21, 1955, to Darold and Lillian Engebretson and attended Stevens Point Area High School and Midstate Technical College where he received a degree in drafting. Mark began his career as a draftsman with Skippy Enterprises and later moved to Madison and a sales position with Therm-All, a commercial green building insulation company.
Mark would have been with Therm-All 25 years this July. He advanced from District Manager to national accounts manager to Director of Marketing and Business Development. Mark contributed greatly to the growth and success of the Company. Most recently he had become one of the industry's leading experts for energy code compliance. Mark sat on the energy code committees for the National Insulation Association.
Mark was a fun loving guy and his presence always brought a spark to any gathering. He loved his sports, especially the Badgers and Packers. Above all else, he was a loving father with a huge heart.
Mark was preceded in death by his parents and his brother, Dave. He is survived by his sons, Scott of Austin Texas, Andrew (Nina Hanson) of Sun Prairie and Matthew of San Diego, Calif.; siblings, Alan (Marge) of Stevens Point, Gail Engebretson of Madison, and Marcia Engebretson (Jane Bidwell) of Hayward; Mark's fiancé, Joanie Blanchar Tyler of McFarland; and her four daughters, Hailey of Las Vegas, Hannah and Maggie of Madison, and Lillie of McFarland, and many loving friends and co-workers.
A Celebration of Mark's Life, with the option to share your memories, will be held at 12:30 pm at Cress Funeral Home, 5801 Highway 51, McFarland on Sunday, April 7, 2013. The family will greet friends beginning at NOON. The celebration will continue at The Green Lantern, McFarland with light fare and Mark's favorite music.
A very large thank you to Agrace HospiceCare of Fitchburg. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Estate of Mark Engebretson to establish a college trust-fund for Lillie Tyler.

"To cindy Engebretson! I hate to even use that last name on you! This is for your so kind post for our beloved Mark- how dare you just call him what you did! Yes, I guess in your drunk moment you wrote this? I had the gift of spending marks last 41/2 yrs with him. I watched the texts u sent constantly that were so cruel and in humane . But he was a gentleman and never responded to you. Oh yeah you were not worth the effort.. Is a ass a man that paid you a huge amount of $ even after your kids were grown? YA, I thought so. Not to speak of the kind of mom you were to your wonderful boys. I could go on, but I won't dis honor Mark on here. He left you everything and more but it's not enough? U still have to bash him after he's gone? Than you. My youngest saw this b4 me. You are the hateful soul that I always heard of. May you get the help you need cindy. Your a sick alcoholic. He married you, raised your son, then had to raise the other 2 because u couldn't. Leave this web site alone. You write on here again and you will answer from more than me! For gods" sake cindy! Have a bit of compassion! Your boys loved him! But you can't handle that either! MARK I LOVE YOU! And I'm sorry to anyone who read this . MARK was loved by many, his funeral and tons of visitors before his passing was beyond his dreams. Forever in my heart Mark Engebretson >3"
