It is difficult to sum up the life of someone like “Pops” in just a few sentences. He was funny, kind, stubborn, caring, hardworking, and a family man. He loved fishing, hunting, collecting coins, gardening, taking care of his property, and spending time on the lake boating. But most of all, he loved spending time with his family and friends, especially his grandchildren. Mark loved to make others laugh and was forever young at heart. And he always made sure to take care of those around him. He was a loving father, grandfather, son, brother, and friend whose memory will live on in the hearts of those that loved him.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Joseph Krabacher and Roberta Kollstedt; stepson, Glenn Mulholland; brothers, Gary Krabacher and Joe Krabacher; stepsister, Jenny Copeland; and friend, Jesse Beach. He is survived by his son, Joey Krabacher (Jenna) of Pensacola, Florida; daughter, Amy O’Dea (Patrick) of Chicago; step-daughter, Wendy Novak of Virginia; brother, Dennis Krabacher (Carol) of Cincinnati, Ohio; stepbrothers, Matt Kolstedt (Sofia) of North Carolina and Dan Kollstedt of Tennessee; sister, Teresa Krabacher of Plainfield, Illinois; stepsisters, Mary Combs (David) of North Carolina, Rosemary Kolstedt of North Carolina, and Martha Mehl (Dana) of Ohio; grandchildren, Graeme O’Dea and Addison O’Dea; step-grandchildren, Ashli Mulholland, Kylie Mulholland, Victoria Simpson, Christine Simpson, Haven Campbell, Emmarie Campbell, and Trinidy Campbell; and great-grandchild, Kayson Pyle.
