Mark Daniel Brenner
September 29, 1961 – June 30, 2025
Mark Daniel Brenner entered eternity in the early hours of Monday, June 30th, after a long and courageous battle with cancer.
Mark was born on September 29, 1961, in Junction City, Kansas, the youngest to Myron Brenner and Debbie Congrove born to Verland and Tena Brenner. From an early age, he had a deep love for cars, a passion that stayed with him throughout his teenage and adult years. Whether working on them, talking about them, or simply admiring them, cars were a lifelong joy and creative outlet.
Mark will be remembered for his selfless, outgoing, funny, and kind-hearted nature. He brought light to every room and always had a story to tell, a joke to share, or a thoughtful idea to offer. His humor, straightforward nature, and creativity made him unforgettable.
Mark cared for his wife and family; he often remarked that being a father was one of the greatest joys of his life. He welcomed Blake and Brien into his life with open arms and poured his heart into raising all four of his children-Blake, Brien, Bradlee, and Baileigh. Mark was a devoted father who would do anything for his kids and took pride in being their father.
In January 2024, Mark was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer. He faced the diagnosis with courage, strength, and grace, displaying resilience and determination, right up to the end.
Mark is survived by his sons, Blake and Bradlee Brenner, his daughter, Baileigh Brenner and his granddaughter Beatrice Brenner. He joins his beloved son Brien, his parents, and many other loved ones in heaven. His family will miss everything about him, his many stories, his silly jokes, his creative mind and his joyful spirit.
He will be missed beyond words.
A funeral service will be held on Wednesday, July 9, 2025, at First Assembly of God, located at 2310 Candlewood Dr., Manhattan, KS 66503, the visitation/viewing: will be at 9:00 – 10:00 AM the Funeral Service will follow at 10:00 AM.

Mark was a very dear friend, while working for FF Less from 82 to 83.
We talked a few times over the years, and had a chance to catch up a few weeks ago. He definitely made a big impression on my life. To each of his children, and extended family, you are all in my prayers.
