Mark Orrin Anderson passed away peacefully on Friday, December 18, 2020 at his home with loved ones by his side.

He was born March 12, 1955 to Orrin K. and Patricia (Morton) Anderson in Wild Rose, Wisconsin. He grew up in the Galesville and Wisconsin Dells areas and graduated from Wisconsin Dells High School in 1973. He married Peggy Peters in Portage, Wisconsin on September 13, 1996.

Mark is survived by his loving wife, Peggy; his mother, Patricia Anderson; his sister, Karen (Rocky) Cormican; his brothers, Paul (Joanne) Anderson, Tim (Chris) Anderson, Toby Anderson and Dave (Wendy) Anderson and several nieces and nephews. He is further survived by his stepchildren, Nick (Betsy) Oksanen and Eric (Maryanne) Forler and 6 step grandchildren, and loyal dog Levi.  Mark was preceded in death by his father Orrin K. Anderson and stepson, Jason Oksanen.

Mark was a talented painter. He was well known for many projects in the area.  He was a co-manager, along with his brother Toby, for the Finch Motel in Downtown Wisconsin Dells.  He will be remembered for his model car building, lefse making, guitar playing, Christmas window stenciling, and several painting projects for his wife, mother, sister, and brothers.  He loved riding his Harley motorcycle and also loved watching the Badger and Packer football games.  In 2012, he donated a kidney to save the life of his brother Toby.   Mark's smile, laugh, skills, and generosity will be dearly missed.

The family would like to thank his oncologist, Dr. Duma and her staff at UW Hospital, Dr. Nathan Mustain, and his nurse, Linda, at SSM Baraboo clinic and also Agrace Hospice program and nurse Amy for their assistance.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the American Cancer Society or the American Diabetes Association.
