Mark Leyendecker

Mark E Leyendecker, age 67, passed away at his Cape Coral, Florida home on June 16. 

Mark is preceded in death by his parents, Wilfred and Eleanor Leyendecker and his younger brother Lee.  He is survived by his loving wife of 30 years, Susan, his brother Scott (partner Kim Koch), Susan’s brothers and sister, cousins, and many nieces and nephews.

Mark was a dedicated businessman, working, owning, and running Will’s Transmissions in Plymouth for over 30 years.  In 2006, when he retired, Mark and Susan became seasonal residents of Florida and enjoyed many years in the sunshine.

Mark was a strong, caring, and honest man.  What you saw was what you got.  He was fun loving and competitive.  He golfed, hunted, scuba dived, flew airplanes, fished, did triathlons and loved his German Shepherd dogs.  He was happiest when he, Susan and the dog were together, or he was fishing the Gulf of Mexico.

A memorial service will be held on Thursday, July 13, 2023 at St. Joseph’s Church, 8701 36^th Ave N, New Hope, MN.  Visitation at 1:00 pm, and service at 2:00 pm.  A toast to Mark will follow at a location to be announced.  In October of 2023, a scattering of ashes will take place in Cape Coral.

Mark was loved and cherished by many.  Donations may be made to the Animal Humane Society.
