Mr. A. Mark Bucholz passed away July 1, 2019.

He was born on March 24, 1934, in Milbank, SD, the son of A. C. and Edna Bucholz.  Mark graduated from Milbank High School in 1952. He then attended SDSM and the University of Minnesota, earning degrees in Engineering and Business Administration.  He practiced as a CPA for over 50 years.

He was united in marriage to Lois Anderson on December 27, 1958, in Evansville, MN.

Survivors include his wife Lois and son Mark of Rapid City; daughter Karen of Lead; granddaughter, Summer and great grandchildren Zakira and Kingston of Los Angeles.  He is also survived by his sister Eloise Sauer, Plymouth, MN and several nieces and a nephew.

He was preceded in death by his son Jon in 1991.

Mark loved skiing, having enjoyed many trips with family and friends.  Also part of his passion was his cabin in the Hills, which he began building in 1971.  Many wonderful times were spent there with family and friends over the years.

He was a member of Rimrock Evangelical Free Church.  His Christian faith was  most important to him, next to his family.  We are all better off because of his many prayers and his guidance.  To quote his children, "He's the most humble and honest man we've ever known."

Visitation will be from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm on Sunday, July 7, at Osheim & Schmidt Funeral Home.
