Mark Bergen

Mark Bergen, 76, Holcombe, was gently called home to be with his Lord and Savior, Monday, Jan. 5, 2026. Though our hearts are heavy with loss, we take comfort in knowing that Mark is now at peace, resting in God’s eternal presence.

Mark was a man of great faith and steady love. His kindness, wisdom and faith spoke clearly, through the way he lived. He believed in doing what was right, loving deeply and trusting God completely.

His life reflected his belief that faith was something to be lived daily, not just spoken.

Family meant everything to Mark. He was a devoted son, brother, husband, father and grandfather. His love was constant, dependable and unconditional. He showed his care through his actions – a helping hand, a listening ear, a shared prayer or simply being there when he was needed most.

His presence brought comfort and guidance to all who knew him.

Mark’s faith guided his life. He found strength in prayer and peace in God’s promises. Whether through his involvement in church, quiet moments of reflection or the way he treated others with grace, Mark lived his faith sincerely and humbly.

He is survived by his loving wife – Linda, of 51 years; daughters – Carrie (Nkrumah) Morgan and Jennifer (Justin) Kron; his grandchildren – Noah and Eva Kron, who were his pride and joy; his brothers – Richard Bergen and Robert (Linda) Bergen; brothers and sisters-in-law – Fred (Ann) Siebenshuh, Carol (Randy) Rowe, Dave Siebenshuh, Kathy (Tim) Siebenshuh, John (Cassandra) Siebenshuh and Paul (Joy) Siebenshuh; and many nieces; nephews and special friends, all who will forever carry his love, lessons and faith in their hearts.

He was preceded in death by his father – Max Bergen; his mother – Florence Bergen; his father-in-law – Fred Siebenshuh; and his mother-in-law – Delores Siebenshuh.

A service celebrating Mark’s life and faith, is Friday, Feb. 6, at 11 a.m., with visitation one hour prior to the service, at Ladysmith Christian Church. We will gather not only to mourn his passing, but to give thanks for the life he lived and the hope we have in Christ.

“If I am shaved, then my strength will leave me, and I shall become weak and be like any other man.”

Judges 16:17 Mark will be deeply missed here on earth, but his legacy of love and faith will continue to guide us, until we meet again.

The family would like to give a special thank you to the excellent and loving care Mark received, from the staff at Marshfield Medical Center-Weston.
