Mark William Odelberg,
age 67, passed away
peacefully, surrounded
by family, on October 29,
2022.
Mark inspired people
with his strength,
determination, and positive attitude throughout his
entire life. He lived by faith each day with the assurance
that his life was in God’s hands.
Born to parents Emil and Ernestine (Redfield)
Odelberg, who preceded him in death, he was a lifelong resident of Grand Junction, graduating from
Central High School and attending Mesa State College.
He worked 39 years with City Market and ended
his career with GJ Housing Authority. Anyone who
had the privilege of working with or for Mark knew
that every task he performed was with excellence that
demonstrated his strong work ethic, attention to detail
and the integrity with which he lived his life. He was
a talented musician, creative and gifted gardener, and
possessed a wit and humor that always made us laugh.
He met the love of his life, and best friend, Stephanie
Folsom, through church. This August marked 45 years
of marriage. Other surviving family include son, Grant
(Brittany--his “2 girl”) Odelberg; Sister, Coni (Steve)
Wolfe; Brother, Vik (Laura) Odelberg; brothers-in-law,
sisters-in-law and many nieces and nephews--special
friends and other friends too numerous to mention
whose lives he touched—he never knew a stranger. He
loved us all well, and we loved him.
See Brown’s Cremation Funeral Service for further
