Mark Burzinski

Mark Stephen Burzinski, age 59, lived his life in Austin and passed away peacefully Monday, November 4, 2019 with his caregivers, staff, and family at his side. Mark was born May 16, 1960 in Austin to Joseph and Mary Ann (Krokos) Burzinski. He graduated from Austin High School in 1980 and later worked at Cedar Valley for 39 years until an injury forced him into rehabilitation in Rochester in Autumn of 2018. Mark’s parents were his primary caregivers for 44 years. He moved into Prairie Sky Apartments in 2004 until health complications forced him into a skilled care facility at Rochester West. Our family is immeasurably appreciative of the countless caregivers from the public schools, Cedar Valley, Prairie Sky, and Rochester West. They all met his physical needs, but most of all they listened and showed him love and compassion and became his extended family. Mark loved his crafts, socializing, going to St. Augustine Church, watching movies, and spending time with family. He had an affinity for sweets and loved trying to scare people. Mark collected superheroes like Batman, Superman, and Spiderman. Survivors include his sister, Judy (Clint) Lueck; brothers, Dave Burzinski, John Burzinski, Dean (Karen) Burzinski; nieces, Bridget (Andy) Ebert, Rachael (Travis) Hodny; nephews, Jacob (Stacie) Burzinski, Nick Burzinski, Matthew Burzinski. He is preceded in death by his parents, Joe and Mary Ann Burzinski; brother, Brian Burzinski; niece, Kristine. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated 11 am on Friday, November 8, 2019 at St. Augustine Catholic Church with Father Jim Steffes officiating. Friends may call from 6-8 pm on Thursday at Mayer Funeral Home and also one hour before the Mass at the church on Friday. Interment will be in Calvary Cemetery.
