Obituary of Mark A. Grazier

Mark A. Grazier, age 48 of Millcreek Twp., was surrounded by family when he succumbed to his illness on Sunday October 2, 2016 at Golden Living-Walnut Creek Nursing Facility. Born in Erie on September 13, 1968, a son of the late Arthur P. and Linda J. (Cole) Grazier. Growing up, Mark never feared hard work as evident in his first job as a young boy delivering newspapers in his rickety wagon, in the harsh Erie winters, through snow covered hills, both ways. Notably, this work ethic is what carried him through his many demanding jobs in the restaurant business for over 20 years. Through it all, he made the best of everyday and always kept his sense of humor. Even after suffering a life-changing stroke at the young age of 36, he didn’t miss an opportunity to crack a joke or bring a smile to your face. Those who knew him were also keenly aware of his great passion of sports, especially all things Steelers. So much so that if you listen closely you will undoubtedly hear him shouting from what is most certainly the best seats in the house “Let’s Go Steelers”! Mark is survived by his sister Christine Hutt-Campbell and her husband Steven, two nieces Jessica and Emily Hutt, three aunts Margie Williams, Judy (Jim) Stubenhofer, and Susan (Scott) Lathrop , Uncle Larry Cole, and extended family and friends across many states. The family would like to extended a special thank you to Asera Care Hospice especially, Ray and Julianna for all of their care and support. A small graveside service will be held on Saturday morning at 10:30 AM in Laurel Hill Cemetery. Arrangements are under the care of the Dusckas-Martin Funeral Home & Crematory Inc. 4216 Sterrettania Rd.
