With sorrow we announce the passing of our dear son, brother, and grandson Mark Koszman on January 9, 2012 at the age of 28 years.

Mark was born July 12, 1983 in Oxbow, SK to Trudy and David Koszman.  Mark made lasting friendships in his elementary school years in McCreary, and many more during his high school years in Neepawa, MB.

After graduation from high school in 2001, Mark followed his dreams and went out to the Mountains near Jasper, AB to snowboard.  He went back to school in 2005 and graduated at Assiniboine Community College with a Civil Technician Certificate.  He later went on to complete a diploma in Geomatic Information Systems Technology at Red River College in 2006.  He worked in this field as a surveyor, advancing to a crew chief and really enjoyed working outdoors. 

Mark will be remembered for his soft-hearted easy-going nature, energetic and fun-loving personality, his great sense of humor and passion for outdoor adventures. He enjoyed snowboarding, mountain biking, paintball, and spending time with friends and loved ones. He will be greatly missed by all those who knew and loved him.
