Mark R. Hoerath

Mark R. Hoerath, 53, of Bourbon, Missouri passed away peacefully on Sunday, September 26, 2021 at Missouri Baptist Hospital – Saint Louis. He was surrounded by his loving family.

Mark Raymond Hoerath was born January 10, 1968 in Sullivan, Missouri, to James and Frances (Kruczynski) Hoerath. He grew up and attended school in the Sullivan area and then went to work for various local businesses.

Mark’s biggest blessing in life was the birth of his daughter, Brianna. He loved Brianna so dearly, and she unexpectedly passed away at the age 12.

Mark faced hardships through his life, such as losing Brianna, but he never failed to always continue to be selfless and so caring of others. He would do anything for anyone. He was a big-hearted man that would give the shirt off of his back for someone in need. Mark was employed by Aerofil in Sullivan for a long period of time.

He enjoyed hunting and fishing, especially on the Meramec River. He loved to throw darts and play pool wherever there was a pool table. He was also a very avid Saint Louis Cardinals fan. He will be so dearly missed and lovingly remembered.

Mark is survived by his two sisters, Vicky Burchett and husband Darrell of Leabanon, IN, and Donna Monshower and husband Gary of Sullivan, MO; two brothers, Fred Hediger and wife Brenda of Saint Clair, MO, and James Hoerath and wife Linda Jo of Longview, TX; other relatives and many other friends.

He was preceded in death by his beloved daughter, Brianna; his parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, and his cousin, Bret Simpson.

Funeral Service were held 12 p.m., Wednesday, September 29, 2021 at the Eaton Funeral Home with Pastor John Roach officiating. Interment will follow in Bourbon Cemetery.

Visitation was from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m., Wednesday, prior to the service at Eaton Funeral Home.
