Bio
Mark was born on December 28, 1947, in Nebraska City, Nebraska to Donald and V. Maxine (Hostetter) Younker. Mark grew up in rural Plattsmouth, attending a one-room school. He graduated from Plattsmouth High School in 1967; he continued his education at Milford Technical School (now Southeast Community College), graduating in 1969. He and Ann Yingling were married on July 3, 1971, at St. John’s Catholic Church in Plattsmouth, NE. Together they made their home West of Plattsmouth, on an acreage connected to the family farm, where they raised their two children, Chris and Holli. Even with the challenge of life in a wheelchair, Mark never let anything get in the way of being a dedicated provider for his family and an active member of his church community. This reflected what was most important to him. He also served as President of the Cullom School Board, for many years. He worked in construction estimating & management throughout the years, including his own commercial construction company, Younker Construction, in Plattsmouth. Until his passing, he worked for Millard Lumber as an Estimator. Mark and Ann have been long-time members of Calvary Christian Church in Bellevue where Mark served as an Elder. It was a great honor for him to be the General Contractor for the large multi-purpose addition to the church, in 1990, where we celebrate his life today. He loved the Lord and His Word; he shared that love by teaching adults at Calvary over the years. He was an avid Husker Football fan and liked the KC Chiefs and Royals, too. Mark was calm and positive, with an upbeat demeanor. He was fun to be around, a jokester, known for his mischievous antics and infectious laughter. He was friendly and generous, the type of guy that would do anything for anyone. One of Ann’s favorite memories of Mark is when they would get separated at the store or at the mall; he’d come rolling up to her out of the blue with an ice cream cone or milkshake to share. He was a faithful husband who loved to make her smile.
