Obituary
LODI/MADISON-Mark Greggory Grinde, age 55, passed away on Tuesday, Feb. 12, 2019, at UW Hospital and Clinics. He was born on July 28, 1963, in Madison, the son of Don and Janette (Lueck) Grinde.

Mark had a love of nature, and when he wasn’t working on cars, he loved driving around and spending time with family and friends. He especially loved his family and puppies, and he was loved deeply in return.
Mark is survived by his wife, Maruja; stepdaughters, Pamela and Carolina Cumbajin; stepson, Emilio Cumbajin; father, Don Grinde; and brother, Jeff (Amy) Grinde.

So glad I got to know Mark. He was was a good friend to have and was so interested in my family and loved to talk about his and his little puppies. I enjoyed tinkering on his projects with him on Saturday mornings in the shop! His idea of a good time on the weekend was going to a Boneyard or out to eat! He was so much help to me at work, big shoes to fill! He will be missed by all at Zimbrick. I know he's up in heaven eating at Red Lobster with a smile on his face and a moustache drenched in butter. Miss ya!

Mark will be greatly missed. I worked with him for four years, 2 of which were sitting next to him in the shop office . He had a great sense of humor, and was a good man to know. Always there to help, and had a vast store of knowledge to share. Our condolences to Marks family. I know they will deeply miss him. Our thoughts and prayers be with you.
