    Show-me / Mike Stark

    Good-bye, my friend. You will be missed.

    DURHAM, Mo. -- Michael E. Stark [show-me], 44, of Durham, went to be with his Lord and Savior on Tuesday evening (July 30, 2013) in his home in Durham surrounded by his loving family.

    Mike was born Sept. 16, 1968, in Quincy, Ill., a son of C. Clayton and Heidi C. Strebe Stark. He married Cheryl Christine Chapman in Hannibal on Aug. 25, 2000. She survives.

    Mike was a member of the U.S. Marine Corps, serving at Camp Pendleton, from where he was deployed to Okinawa, Japan, Korea and the Philippines. He proudly served his country during Desert Storm in Saudi Arabia.

    His interests were watching his son Anthony play baseball and attending Tyler's musical events, beekeeping, turkey hunting, fishing and working outdoors in the yard.

    Mike was a member of Durham Baptist Church.

    Survivors include his wife, Christine, of the home; his parents, Clayton and Heidi Stark of Maywood; and two sons, Tyler and Anthony Kruse, both of the home.

    He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Fred and Cleo Stark and Werner and Charlotte Strebe.

    I created a PayPal Donate button. If we get enough folks contributing $5 or $10 we should be able to send flowers. I'm not sure how much (total) is enough. If someone can let me know what we'll need, I'll pull the page to stop donations once we reach that. Thanks! (I haven't tested it yet since it won't allow me to pay myself.)

    What a guy - he was one of the people who really got me started here. He did well for his country, family and friends.

    Sad day...

    He is now with our Lord and Savior, no longer suffering.

    Prayers to his family during this time of grief.

    He was courageous in his battle and gracious in allowing us to share his pain. He was family. I am so happy to have known him, but very sad he left us so soon. We'll miss you Mike. Semper Fi.

    I will miss him a lot. He was one that was truly a giving person.

    So sad to hear about this life taken far too soon.

    Thoughts and prayers for his family.

    It sure puts things into perspective.

    Michael will be missed, but for him it is not the end of the story. Until then, my friend...

    Revelation 22
    22 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2 down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. 3 No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. 4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. 5 There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.

    Mike will truly be missed. Further words escape me.
