Mark L. Kapp, age 65, of Great Falls passed away on May 20, 2022, at Peace Hospice after a lengthy illness. A celebratory memorial service is planned on Wednesday, June 8, 2022, at Hillcrest Lawn Memorial Chapel at 11:00 a.m.

Born on July 22, 1956, in Aberdeen, SD, he was one of two children born to Ephraim and Nina Kapp. He met his wife Renee while working for the same company in Minneapolis. On May 1, 1982, he married Renee Dean at Fort Snelling, MN. They raised two sons, Craig and Jason Kapp, in Maple Grove, MN. After 25 years of living in Minnesota, they moved to Montana in 2007 to be closer to family and live a quieter life. Mark had a long and successful career in the lumber business, working for large lumber companies in Minnesota, and locally at Lumber Yard Supply and Johnson Madison. In 2019, he retired from Johnson Madison due to illness. Many of Mark’s co-workers and business associates would become his good friends with whom he loved to spend time with hunting and golfing. Mark especially enjoyed the times at their cabin in Neihart, MT, where he fished, cut wood, and loved to tell his famed campfire stories to family and his son’s friends.

Mark is survived by his loving wife of 40 years, Renee; his sons, Craig Kapp of Beloit, WI and Jason Kapp of Great Falls, MT; sister, Marsha Kapp of Watertown, SD; grandson, Hunter Kapp of Roscoe, IL; brother and sisters-in-law; and nieces and nephews. He will be especially missed by his loving pets Karly and Nelli.

He was preceded in death by his father, mother, and grandparents.

Special thanks to Dr. Lajara-Nanson and his staff and the staff at Peace Hospice for their care during Mark's illness.

The service will be livestreamed via Facebook.
