MARK EARL VANN September 12, 1948 - November 28, 2017 Mark Earl Vann passed away after a brief illness at the age of 69. Mark was the much loved husband and partner of Susan, brother-in-law to Mark (Erin) and Scott (Cathy), and uncle to Amelia. Mark was predeceased by his mother Maggie, father Earl, and brother Monty. He is survived by his brother Murray, and stepmother Jocelyn. Mark graduated from the University of Manitoba, Department of Architecture but soon determined that he preferred something more hands on and so he became a tool and die machinist, a trade he practiced until he retired. Mark then took over the full-time running of No. 7 Stables until his death. Mark often commented that he had never worked so hard as when he "retired". Mark was the master of small kindnesses that make life a little easier for those around him. Whether it was making sure vehicles were plugged in or a favourite candy was always mysteriously around, these small, unselfish kindnesses were part of who Mark was. Mark will be missed by everyone, whether two-legged or four at No. 7 Stables. Cremation has already taken place and at Mark's request there will be no funeral. In lieu of flowers or other gifts, Mark would want everyone to remember that life and love are gifts to be treasured...and motorcycles are fun.

It was always a pleasure to work with Mark. His sense of humor and gentle kind demeanor made him a great person to associate with. He always had a good story to tell and knowledge of tools and life in general was very useful too us all. He will be missed. - Posted by: Ron Harrod (co-worker at Home Depot Tool Rental) on: Dec 02, 2017

I am so sorry hear of Marcus' passing. We were best friends during our Junior High and High School years. We grew up a street apart. I always called him Finnibrook (not sure that's the correct spelling). I spent many fun days with him and his family at their cottage at Sandy Hook. Good times at school, Key Club, Curling, parties and just hanging out. It's sad news for me to hear. - Posted by: Ralph Wood (Friend) on: Nov 30, 2017
