Mark Stephen Hendricks passed away peacefully on Tuesday, January 31, 2012 at home surrounded by his family. Mark bravely battled pancreatic cancer for almost a year with dignity, humor and the love and support of family, friends and co-workers. He was born on January 18, 1956 in KC, MO. Mark attended Bishop Miege High School, earned a B.S. in Accounting and Business Administration from Kansas University and completed his MBA at Rockhurst College. His career began with Hallmark Cards, followed by Yellow Freight Systems, Paragon Electric in Blue Springs, MO and Midwest Cabinet in Ottawa, KS. His most recent employment was with MD Management in Mission, KS. Mark was always ready for a friendly political debate and rarely missed cheering for "his" KU Basketball team. He will be most remembered for his sharp wit and his mentoring to guide others towards success. His home was truly his sanctuary.
