Mark A. Bitterman Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Mark Alan Bitterman, age 56, passed away peacefully on October 1, 2020, surrounded by family. Mark had been bravely battling an aggressive esophageal cancer for the last 14 months. Mark was born in Saginaw to Philip & Lillian (Gengler) Bitterman. He graduated from Farwell High School in 1982 and worked for years as a meat cutter until starting Twin Lakes Carpet Care, with his brother Patrick in 2012. Mark enjoyed hunting and fishing, with many trophy bucks under his belt. Being a meat cutter, he was in high demand during deer season, when his friends would bag the big buck! Mark was an avid Detroit Lions fan, was a true believer, saying every fall that “THIS IS THE YEAR” and was disappointed year after year by his beloved Lions. Mark truly loved living in this area and had many friends who dropped by for one of Mark’s frequent bon fires. Mark is survived by his brother Patrick Bitterman of Lake, his sister Mary Kay (Mack) Shannon of Weidman, his sister Cindy (Tom) Hedrich of Chesaning, numerous nieces and nephews and many, many friends. Mark was preceded in death by his mother, Lillian, his father Philip, his brother Mike, and his sister Luann Hedrich. In lieu of funeral services, and to honor Mark's character, we ask that all who wish to celebrate Mark’s life make a donation to Big “R” & Smokin’ Joe’s Hospice Benefit. (www.brsjhospicebenefit.com). A memorial service will be announced and held at a later date.
