Mark Alan Mansfield, 51, formerly of Pierson, IA passed away Friday, December 11th at his home in Jackson, NE.

Mark was born February 19, 1969 in Cherokee, IA, the son of Harry and Anita (Bobolz) Mansfield. He was the second youngest of 5 children raised on their acreage outside of Pierson, IA. He graduated Kingsley-Pierson High School in 1987. Following that he received his degree in Electronic Systems Maintenance in 1988 from WITCC. Mark enlisted in the Army National Guard on March 19, 1986 while in high school and proudly served his country until his retirement on May 1, 2002, achieving the rank of Staff Sergeant E6 

Mark was the co-owner of AutoSound Solutions in South Sioux City, NE, a business in which he took great pride and devoted so much time to build. When not at work you could find him working on his cabin or helping family and friends with their DIY projects. Mark was a true jack of all trades with a wealth of knowledge he patiently shared with his children and grandsons. He doted on his grandsons and took the role of Papa very seriously. Words cannot express how greatly he will be missed. 

Lucky to remember him lovingly are his parents; 2 daughters: Kassandra (Boomer) Klaschen and Caitlin (Chris) Hofer; 2 sons: Ethan Mansfield and Evan Mansfield; 2 grandsons: Carter Hofer and Holden Klaschen; 2 sisters Nanette Mansfield and LuAnn (Kent) Radford; 2 brothers: Dan (Terri) Mansfield and Matt (Jennifer) Mansfield; 8 nieces and nephews; 4 great nieces and nephews; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
