MARK W. BEINER
Cedar Rapids
Mark W. Beiner passed away peacefully with his wife and daughter by his side at St. Luke's Hospital in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Friday, Nov.
20, 2020.
Mark was the light of any room he entered and always had a smile on his face.
Those who knew him loved his sense of adventure, athleticism and quick wit. He rode RAGBRAI every year since 1993, competed in and won several rollerblade marathons and was a competitive skier. To know Mark was to know love and life.
Mark was the rock that led his family. Mark leaves behind his wife, Nanette (Boyer) Beiner; father, William Beiner; brother, Tim (Chlora) Beiner; sisters, Marie (Mike) Lewis and May Richardson; sister-in-law, Ruth Beiner; son, Robert (Bob) Beiner (Kristin Kersting); daughters, Christa Beiner, Kari (Scott) Wheeler and Dana (Orofenere Louis) Ukiri; 17 grandchildren, Amity, Jacey (Bo), Zach, Dylann, Derek, Austin, Airyck, Jude, Noen, Brue, Lilly, Ruth, Iylie, Nadia, Joseph, Xander and Zara; as well as his beloved dog, Maddie.
Mark was preceded in death by his mother, Dixie (Trees) Beiner; brother, Kent Beiner; and brother-in-law Lonnie Richardson.
Please join the family for a virtual funeral on Tuesday, Nov. 24, at 4 p.m. CST. The link can be found in Mark's obituary at www.iowacremation.com under obituaries.
In lieu of flowers, donations to St. Luke's Hospice in Mark's honor. A memorial bench along the Cedar Rapids bicycle trail will be placed in Mark's memory; anyone who would like to contribute to that, please contact Nanette Beiner.
