Mark Joseph Griffin was born in Minneapolis, MN on July 6, 1955. Mark was the third child of John and Diane Griffin. His father predeceased him in March 2014. Mark is survived by his mother, Diane Marie Griffin, four siblings: Elizabeth Ann, John Francis III, Kelly Michele, Kerry Colleen and son Joseph Francis. Mark grew up in Colorado Springs and went to Coronado High School. After high school, he joined the US Navy. He was discharged and moved back to Colorado Springs. Mark had a variety of jobs during his life. He worked with his dad as a painter for a season. We, as a family, are grateful for the Texas State Veteran's Services and Thomas-Garza Funeral Home. Thank you for your care and provision in Mark's final hours.
