home. He was born on January 21, 1952, in Grand Forks, North Dakota to Myron Jr.

and Eve (Carter) Denbrook.

Mark was a 1970 graduate of the Red River High School in Grand Forks, and earned

his Bachelor’s Degree from the University of North Dakota (UND) in 1975, where he

was a proud member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity and huge fan of “Fighting

Sioux” athletics.

In 1986 Mark was hired by the Hibbing Public Schools as an Audio-Visual Director and

finished his career as an elementary school Media Specialist.

Mark was a strong supporter of UND and made a substantial contribution to the

renovation of the Chester Fritz Auditorium, a facility designed by his father Myron.

Mark was a big sports fan, and especially enjoyed playing and watching golf. Mark was

a proud member of the Mesaba Country Club, and served as a golf coach at the

Hibbing High School for several years. He was a big movie buff and loved going to the

theatre when he had the chance. His all-time favorites were the James Bond movies.

Mark’s friends would like to thank his many caregivers who took such wonderful care of

him when he became homebound. A special thank you to Vickie and Gina DelGrande

who provided Mark a great deal of support and care for several years.

Mark is survived by his many close friends. He is preceded in death by his parents,

Myron & Eve.
