Mark C. Kieffer

Mark C. Kieffer, beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend, passed away peacefully on January 30, in his home, surrounded by family. He now joins his son, Ryan, in eternal life.

Mark leaves behind his devoted wife, Doreen (Guziejka) Kieffer; his son, Jason Kieffer; and his daughter-in-law, Alicia. He was a proud and loving grandfather to five grandchildren who truly lit up his world: Vivienne (12), Jude (10), Leo (9), Mary (6), and Camilla (6).

He is also survived by his brother, Dave (Vicki) Kieffer; his sisters, Sharon (Tom) Connor and Diane (Randy) Killian; along with many extended family members, friends, and those fortunate enough to have been mentored by him.

Mark was a hard-working man, a wonderful husband and father, and a steady presence in the lives of so many. More than anything, he cherished time spent with his grandchildren. Whether he was playing with them for hours on end, cheering them on at sporting events, relaxing at the lakehouse with his dog by his side, or sharing his love of antique toys, classic cars, and classic rock music, Mark found his greatest joy in being surrounded by family.

His kindness, work ethic, and quiet guidance left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

A memorial visitation will be held on March 1, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., with a prayer service at 12:30 p.m., at Kurtz Memorial Chapel, 65 Old Frankfort Way, Frankfort IL 60423. 

A Celebration of Life will follow the memorial service at CD & ME, 23320 LaGrange Road, Frankfort, IL 60423.  The Celebration will be an open house from 1:30 PM to 5:00 PM.
