Mark Dennis Langevin passed away on Tuesday, April 15, 2025, surrounded by his loving family at Hillcrest Senior Living in Red Lake Falls, Minnesota. He was 82 years old.
Mark was born on November 17, 1942, to Dennis and Doris (Wiener) Langevin in Thief River Falls, Minnesota. He attended school in Thief River Falls and graduated from Lincoln High School in 1961.
On September 4, 1964, Mark married his high school sweetheart, Ellen Ethel Larson, in Thief River Falls. Together they built a life in St. Hilaire, Minnesota, where they raised four children: Dennis, Tina, Velvet, and Mary.

He dedicated 50 years to the company. Later in life, he also worked part-time for DigiKey until his retirement.
He enjoyed the outdoors—especially hunting and fishing—and found joy in playing cards and bingo. Mark loved driving through the countryside in search of wildlife and visiting the casino.
