Mark Andrew Rennie was born on July 23, 1962 in Ponca City, Okla. to Jane and Charles Rennie. After a tragic fall, Mark passed away at OU/Presbyterian Medical Center on May 12, 2012 at 5:36 p.m.

Mark graduated from Ponca City High School in 1980 and studied Information Systems at DeVry Institute of Irving, Tex.

Mark loved traveling the country with his job and meeting people along the way. He never met a stranger and loved talking politics, physics and was never without a joke and a laugh. The generosity that Mark showed to this world his entire life didn't stop with his death, Mark had long ago signed up as an organ donor and in his death many people will be blessed!

While fishing, star gazing and reading were activities he enjoyed, there was no greater joy for him than throwing the ball or just spending time with his beloved dog, Sadie.

Mark had many friends that claimed him as family and that he never tired of enjoying life with, but the pride of Mark's life was his nephews and niece; Lance, Landon and Lauren. Mark will be sorely missed by his family and friends and never forgotten.

Mark was preceded in death by his parents, Jane Rennie and Charles Rennie and is survived by his sister, Melissa Heaton and her husband Trent of Alva, his brother, Martin Rennie and his wife, Alisha of Midlothian, Tex.; his nephew, Lance Heaton and his wife Brenna; his nephew, Landon Heaton and niece Lauren Heaton, all of Alva, as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

Donations may be made in his name to the hospital that treated him so well: OU Medical Center Volunteers, 700 NE 13th, Oklahoma City, OK 73104 or to the Science Museum of Oklahoma at www.sciencemuseumok.org/give.
