Mark's obituary
It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Mark Timothy Schlarb of Randolph, Ohio passed away peacefully at home on July 25, 2025. Mark was born on October 31, 1959, and was the son of Thomas and Virginia "Ginger" Schlarb. Mark lived a life committed to family, friendship, and passion of many talents; from dart competitions, hydroplane boat racing, building hotrods, to his recent favorite fishing for the USA bass team.
Mark’s spirit lives on through his beloved wife, Lori Schlarb of , and his cherished children, Thomas & Lindsey Schlarb, Brandon & Erica (Bunce) Schlarb and Jennifer & Kurt Porter and his loved grandchildren Dylan, Trenton, Kassarra, Faye, Timothy, Kip and Charlee; siblings Frank Schlarb, Vauncile (Chee Chee) & Steve Drusin, Daniel Schlarb, Amy Cross, Wendy & Kent O’Brien, Melinda & Larry Stahl and Di Anna Schlarb. His memory is forever seared into the hearts of those he left behind, leaving a legacy of love, strength, and resilience.
Mark was predeceased by his father, Thomas Schlarb, who no doubt welcomed him with open arms into everlasting peace.
Mark's light has not been extinguished; rather, it now illuminates the memories of those who knew him. His laughter, his wisdom, and his enduring spirit will remain in our hearts forever, shaping us and our actions in his absence.
A Memorial service honoring Mark's life will be held on November 2, 2025, at 1:00 PM at Vic's Sports Center. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that all who wish to express their condolences do so by holding their loved ones close and celebrating the life that was lived, rather than the life that was lost.
