Charles Mark Beecroft passed away of natural causes in Springfield, Virginia on August 15, 2009. He resided at 15002 Bridgeport Drive in Dumfries, Virginia at the time of his death.
Mark was born June 8, 1928 in Douglas, Arizona to Ruth Huish Beecroft and Robert Irl Beecroft.
He was the third child in a family of nine children. His father died when Mark was 14 years old. Mark was a loving and caring son to help his widowed mother for many years in Arizona and later when the family moved to Provo, Utah.
At age 20 Mark served an LDS Mission in the Spanish American Mission for two 1/2 years. When he returned he entered the military and went to Korea during the Korean conflict. Most of his time there he was an M.P. in the infantry. After an honorable discharge he entered B.Y.U. for five years and graduated in accounting. He went to work for Arthur Anderson & Co. as an auditor.
Mark met Stephanie Wayment in Detroit and they later married in the LDS Temple. To this union were born four boys, C. Mark, Jr. (deceased), Jeff (Sally), Robert (Christina), and Michael. Mark and Stephanie were later divorced.
His family located in the Washington, D.C. area where Mark worked as an insurance auditor for the U.S. government. Mark was always valiant and true to the covenants he made in the L.D.S. faith. He was active in his wards, often being called to serve as a ward clerk. Mark was a good father who cared for his boys all through the years. They were his pride, his joy, his hope for the future.
His survivors are his children, sisters Lenore Gordon, Sandra Allen (Don), Vivien Robison (Clayne), and brothers James Beecroft (Donna), and Joseph Beecroft (Margo). He was preceded in death by his parents, his son, C. Mark, Jr., and by brothers David, Robert and William Beecroft. We loved you, Mark; we want great peace for you. "Good night, sweet prince; and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest."
Funeral Services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, August 20, 2009 at Berg Mortuary, 185 East Center Street, Provo. Friends may call from 9:30-10:45 a.m. prior to the services.
