SMITH, Mark Douglas, “Bass” age 65 of Linden passed away peacefully Wednesday, May 15th, 2024, at his home after a short battle with cancer. Mark was born in Flint, Michigan on July 27th, 1958. He was a 1976 graduate of Linden High School where he excelled playing football as defensive tackle. After high school, Mark worked for General Motors and later found happiness in self-employment as a contractor. He was a hardworking man and did so up until the very end. Known for his generosity and unwavering friendship you could always count on him. Often you would hear his unparalleled laugh before you even saw him. Mark had a great memory and if he had a table to sit at and a cup of coffee, he would tell stories and captivate the room. He was an avid coin-collector, enjoyed going to the casino, fishing, going up-north with his wife, Dawn, and spending time with friends and family. He was a friend to all and will be greatly missed.
Mark is survived by his wife, Dawn McGinnis and 6 children, Jesse McGinnis, Laura Jo Bartrum (William) , Michelle McGinnis, Jordan Smith and twin daughters Jade Weisenberger (Kyle) and Marque Wenzlicm (Bruce) ; grandchildren Emery, Arwen, Francesca, Boomer, Brody, Ava, Hunter and Logan; sisters Lisa and Suzanne and several nieces, nephews and cousins.
