Obituary
Mark Alan DeMates, 62, of Morriston, Florida, passed away on Friday, April 24, 2026.
Mark was born in Michigan on January 6, 1964, to James and Patsy DeMates. Growing up, he was a track and football star at North Branch High School, as well as an avid hunter. All his life, he possessed an extraordinary and natural combination of mechanical aptitude and intuitive problem-solving skills - you name it, he could fix it, make it better, or MacGyver it!
Mark moved to Morriston, Florida in 2019, where he loved being outside, spending time in nature and the sun.
Mark was a devoted and loving son, brother, father, and grandfather. He was the friend who would give you the shirt off his back, an ear to vent to, shoulder to cry on, or share a joke to entertain. He was always reciting song lyrics or movie lines.
He is survived by his sister, Cynthia, brother, James, daughters Carissa and Casandra, grandchildren Aiden, Dante, Dimitri, Meisha, and Soren, and beloved pup, Sophie.
He was preceded in death by his parents, and brother, Steven.
From his family: Until we meet again - Love You More!
Arrangements are entrusted to Weems & Sons Funeral Homes, 512 East Noble Avenue, Williston, Florida 32696.
