Mark Lucario

Mark Wade Lucario, age 39, passed away peacefully on January 18, 2019 after his courageous battle with glioblastoma (GBM), an aggressive form of brain cancer. Mark was born on January 28, 1979 in Houston, TX to Sammy Eugene Lucario, Sr. and Elizabeth Renee Cheatwood. He was raised in Baytown, TX and went to Robert E. Lee High School. Mark had an abundance of love for his children and enjoyed spending time with them. He has a way of meeting new people everywhere he goes and making lifelong friends. His sense of wit goes hand in hand with his sense of humor. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. He had a passion for fishing, hunting, and woodworking in which he can create wonderful furniture pieces. He was a hard worker and a dedicated employee for Turner Industries, Exxon Chemical, and Brock & Brand for many years. Mark is survived by the people who cared for him and loved him: His mother, Elizabeth Renee Cheatwood, his wife, Jennifer Lee Simkulet, his best friend, Samantha Elizabeth Cook, his beloved children: Kaylah, Brent, Landon, Brooke, step children Lance, Ethan, Rahlyn, and Aria, Siblings: Sheri Cheng Bish and her husband, Todd Bish, Sammy Lucario Jr. and wife Erica Spicer, Michelle Gray, Debbie McCormick and her husband, Adam McCormick, Nick Yuquimpo and his wife Kay Yuquimpo, May-Ann Yuquimpo, Chris Yuquimpo, Angela Lucario, and countless other friends and family.
