Mark Willard Wagner
Mark Willard Wagner, age 79, of Greenville, Ohio, passed away on
Sunday, November 29, 2020 in Broadview Heights, Ohio where he had
resided for several years after a lengthy illness. Mark was born
on January 13, 1941 in Greenville, Ohio. He was the loving son of
Mark Willard Wagner Sr. and Eva Eloise (Eikenberry) Wagner. Mark
graduated from Greenville High School and attended Manchester
College. A member of the Church of the Brethren, he was in the
Brethren Volunteer Service from 1963-1965 in the College of Agriculture
at the University of Maryland in College Park, Maryland. There he
met and married the late Vivian Gail McSwain of Albemarle, North
Carolina on December 27, 1964. Mark and Vivian came back to his
beloved family farm where he farmed for the next several decades.
Mark was joyful and saw the humor in everything. He loved to
laugh and was not afraid to get people laughing at his own
expense. He was an entertaining Euchre player, loved farming and
being outdoors, collecting tractors, traveling, and, most especially,
enjoying his grandchildren.
Mark is survived by his daughter and son-in-law, Kristin Wagner Sweeney
and Peter Henry Sweeney of Shaker Heights, Ohio; daughter and
son-in-law, Kimberly Wagner Biglow, M.D., and Michael Kenneth Biglow,
Sr., of Brecksville, Ohio; grandsons Wyatt Henry Sweeney, John “Jack”
Mark Sweeney, Michael Kenneth Biglow, Jr., and granddaughter Allison
Grace Biglow; brother and sister-in-law, Gary Lynn Wagner and Dianna
Kay Wagner of Greenville Ohio; sisters-in-law Janice McSwain Simmons of
Hickory, North Carolina and Mary Margaret McSwain of Wilmington, North
Carolina; and several nieces and a nephew.
A private funeral service will be held at the convenience of the family
in the Zechar Bailey Funeral Home Greenville, Ohio with Pastor Dr. Fred
Bernhard officiating. Burial will follow in the Greenville
Cemetery. A Memorial Service for family and friends will be held
next summer when the service can be held safely and as an outdoor
event.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Greenville Public Library or the
Darke County Park District would be greatly appreciated.
