Mark Andrew Haukereid, age 61, of Albuquerque, New Mexico, passed away on December 13, 2025.

Born on October 28, 1964, Mark spent most of his life in Albuquerque, a place that shaped both his career and the many relationships he built along the way. He proudly served in the United States Army, and he carried that sense of duty, reliability, and straightforward practicality into every aspect of his life.

Mark was a highly skilled diesel and heavy equipment mechanic and specialist, widely respected for his deep technical expertise and steady, dependable presence. Throughout his career, he worked extensively with Cummins diesel engines and heavy mining equipment, supporting operations across New Mexico, throughout the United States, and internationally. He was frequently trusted to train and mentor others, valued not only for his problem-solving abilities but also for his readiness to step in and help whenever needed.

Mark taught more through action than words. He was loud, liked to rock, and had a presence that was unmistakably his own. Those who knew him will remember that he showed love through consistency, loyalty, and always being there for the people who mattered most to him.

He enjoyed fishing, golf, boating, and water sports, all of which were central to family life. Many summers were spent at Elephant Butte Lake in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, creating memories on the water. Mark was also an accomplished bowler, proudly achieving several perfect games of 300. He had been looking forward to retirement and a move to Michigan, where he planned to spend his days fishing, enjoying the water, and being with family.

Mark is survived by his daughter, Ashlie Guyberson (and son-in-law Adrian Guyberson); his son, Mark Andrew Haukereid Jr.; his granddaughter, Rúna Guyberson; his life partner, Katherine McNabb; her son, William P. Smith; and their loyal dog, Ruger.

In accordance with Mark’s wishes, his family plans to honor him with a lake celebration in the summer of 2026, complete with loud music, a bonfire, and good company. And just as Mark would have wanted, the music will be loud. In his words; If you think it’s too loud, well… you’re probably too old.
