Obituary
MIDDLETON-Mark C. Elliott, age 53, of Middleton, passed away unexpectedly on Friday, Jan. 18, 2019. He was born on July 22, 1965, in Reedsburg, the son of Charles and Kathy A. Elliott. Mark graduated from Middleton High School in 1983. Mark married Amy Turnquist on May 31, 1997.
He was passionate about his work in the construction field which he did for 35 years. His first 25 years of his career was as an employee/owner of Elliott Construction and the last eight years as a superintendent for Encore Commercial Inc. Mark loved being surrounded by his family and good food. He loved being outside hiking, camping, or relaxing by a fire. Mark was a proud grandpa of his little princess, Shailee, and exceptionally proud of his sons. He loved watching them play sports; most recently he simply enjoyed their company. Mark was always a generous man and a proud organ donor. Through his death, others are able to renew their lease on life. Mark will be missed by many people who loved and respected him as a friend, co-worker, husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and son. He was the all-around go-to guy.

To Mark’s Family -
Mark was the superintendent on six of my multi-family buildings over the last 8 years and current ‘super’ on my house. I found Mark to be very dedicated, caring and thoughtful in his approach, very wise about construction, and extremely concerned about finishing the job on timely manner and in budget but also with a high quality result. You just don’t find guys like him anymore. He really cared about the job, matched with his high skill set and knowledge., and he made sure everyone did the same. He was a high quality guy and not someone our culture can duplicate. We really relied on him, trusted him, and let him do his job, because we knew he had us covered. I enjoyed talking with him and always knew Mark looked out for the interests of his clients. We’ll sorely miss him. - Terrence R. Wall, T. Wall Enterprises Mgt, LLC

To Marks Family - David and I at Nelson Electric, worked with Mark on projects with Encore - he was such a pleasure to work with and we could tell he loved his job and was good at it. I personally (Tammy Schoepp) knew Mark as I graduated with him.- My daughter Kaytlyn knows your son and he is a "chip off the old block". Has the same zest for life as Mark did. Mark was always laughing and joking with everyone even at a young age, I will miss that. Thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
