Mark John Leiker passed away suddenly in his home on November 5. He was born in Hays, KS on September 23, 1953 and was raised in Colorado Springs. Mark graduated from Cheyenne Mountain High School in 1972. He was an exceptional athlete and enjoyed playing golf, fishing, and the outdoors. He followed in his father's footsteps and become a general contractor with a strong honest work ethic. Mark always helped others in any capacity, he was generous, quick-witted, and always joking.
Mark was preceded in death by his parents Lee and Kay Leiker. He is survived by his loving wife, Susan of 31 years, sister Michelle, brothers Blake, Kent, and Curt and many relatives.
A celebration of life will be held at the PattyJewett Golf Club House.
