Mark Lishman

June 9, 1967 - January 31, 2022

Mark Lishman, 54, passed peacefully on January 31st, 2022, after a long, courageous fight with appendiceal cancer. He was home and surrounded by friends and family who loved him deeply. He would like you to know that God is always good and trustworthy.

Mark was born in Kingman, Arizona, to Betty (Lishman) Featherstone and Terry Lishman. He grew up loving aviation and military history, which led him to serve in the U.S. Air Force from 1990 to 1996 with honor. Mark also enjoyed Starbucks coffee in the mornings, where he would talk gleefully about flying maneuvers, fantasy stories, and always about his faith in and love for Jesus.

Mark was a loving husband, father, son, and a good friend to many. He genuinely loved all the people around him on any given day. Mark is survived by his wife Kimie, his three children Adam, Noah, and Isaac, his mother Betty, his bonus mother Karen, his three sisters and their spouses, nieces, nephews, and a community of amazing, dear friends.

A celebration of life is scheduled for Saturday, February 5th, 2022, at 10:00 AM CST at Bara Church, 301 Trophy Lake Dr #136, Trophy Club, Texas. Lunch will be served immediately after the service. To watch the service via live stream, please go to barachurch.com/marklishman.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that all donations go to his local church, Bara. You can go to barachurch.com/give, click “Give,” and select “Donation in Memoriam” from the Fund dropdown box.

"Wrong will be right, when Aslan comes in sight,

At the sound of his roar, sorrows will be no more,

When he bares his teeth, winter meets its death,

And when he shakes his mane, we shall have spring again."
