Obituary of Mark Steven Chier

Mr. Mark Steven Chier, 63, passed from this world on Thursday morning, January 11, 2018 at his home in Paynesville, MO, surrounded by his wife, Nancy, daughter, Jessica and granddaughter, Jillian, who wrote his obituary.
 

Mark spent most of his childhood and adult life hunting and fishing.  He was as strong as Atlas and worked in construction for most of his adult life.  Mark accepted Jesus as his savior and was baptized in November 2017.  He made numerous friends throughout his life.  He was always willing to help everyone.  That was my husband….kind and helpful to everyone.

 

Mark was preceded in death by his parents, George and Henrietta Chier.
 

Mark leaves behind his lifelong friend and wife of 15 years, Nancy Ann Hunot-Chier of Paynesville; his son, Jeffrey Chier and his girlfriend, Kristina Willman, of Foley, MO; his daughter, Jessica Chier and her boyfriend, Adam Niswonger, of St. Ann, MO; his stepson, Sean Wesley McGranor of St. Louis, MO; three granddaughters: Jillian, Kaydence and Kearstin Chier; one grandson, Bently Niswonger; and two additional granddaughters who he came to love as his own, Elizabeth and Kaysea Foulon.  Mark also leaves three siblings: Michael Chier and his wife, Sharon, of Maryland Heights, MO, Marie Kelly and her husband, Pat, of St. Charles, MO and Margie Britt and her husband, Ron, of St. Louis, MO; and his mother-in-law, Ann Hunot-Mendenhall of St. Louis and many other in-laws.  Mark was a loving uncle to several nieces and nephews.  He also leaves numerous friends, family and all the animals on “Chier’s Half Acre.”
 

We celebrate his life on earth and the fact that our Lord embraces him and gives Mark eternal life.  Rest in peace and harmony my husband, and may you always be Forever Young.  As Mark would say, “I’m 19 going on 20.”  Cash and Jillian will miss you.  Thank you for the memories!

Mark’s wishes were to be cremated.  He wanted us to have a big party and spread his ashes on Slim and Westport Islands of the Mississippi River.  We will accommodate his wishes on Saturday, August 11, 2018.  A Memorial Service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, January 20, 2018 at our church.  Food and fellowship will immediately follow.  If you can join us, please bring a picture and brief memory of Mark for the memory jar to Annada Christian Community Church; 204 Arlington, Ave.; Annada, MO.  Memorials may be made to Jillian’s College Fund in care of Carter-Ricks Funeral Home, 107 S. 5th Street; Elsberry, MO 63343.
