LEPPELMAN- Mark Steven Leppelman was a mere 21 years young when Our Lord unexpectedly called him home on Sunday, July 25th. Mark is survived by his loving parents, Cathy and Steve, devoted brother, Scott and faithful companion, King. In addition to the many friends, family and others who loved him, Mark also leaves behind years unlived and those whose paths he did not cross. They will not witness his love for family. They will not see his patient understanding of children nor his kindness toward animals and the love they had for him. Nor will they behold his passion for the Lord or know how his faith sustained Mark during those heroic battles that tried his soul. Mark was an excellent marksman and treasured the times with his father shooting his grandfather��?�s pistol. He loved nature and found peace and inspiration in God��?�s creation. How blessed we are, those of us who knew him. How blessed is Mark, that because he trusted in the Lord through whom all things are possible, the child we believe has left us too soon, is now cradled in the arms of Our Savior and has inherited the kingdom of God. Amen. With GOD all things are possible. Mark 10:27. A celebration of Mark��?�s life will be held on Thursday, July 28, 2011 at 10:00am at Sagebrush Community Church, 6440 Coors Boulevard NW. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the OCD Foundation, www.ocfoundation.org. P.O. Box 961029, Boston, MA 617-973-5801. Mark��?�s care has been entrusted to: Daniels Family Funeral Services
