Mark Allen Nelisse

Mark Allen Nelisse, age 71 of Montville went to his heavenly home Thursday, May 5, 2022. Our beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend will be greatly missed. Mark was born to Durwood “Buck” and Blanche (nee: McGurer) Nelisse on November 21, 1950. They proceeded him in death along with his infant brother Gary. Mark worked hard in all he did at the Metzenbaum Center for more than forty years. He enjoyed the work of farming and hunting the land he shared with his wife Elaine. Together on the farm they raised Jennifer (Shawn) Bruzda, Kelly Phillips and Steven Nelisse. In his lifetime he was able to share his love of all things related to country living and passed on the legacy of country living to his children and grandchildren Nathan Knopp, Rhiannon Bruzda, Justin Phillips, Kenyon Bruzda and Holly Phillips. He is also survived by his brother Douglas (Mary Jane) Nelisse of LaGrange, OH. He always had a memory or story to share. In our sadness over his unexpected passing we carry with us the peace and hope that only comes from our Lord Jesus Christ. A memorial service will be held at 6pm on Tuesday, May 10, 2022 at Huntsburg Congregational Church 12435 Madison Road, Huntsburg, OH 44046, where he was a longtime member. A memorial gathering will be from 4-6pm on Tuesday at the church. Donations suggested to help with the purchase and planting of a Black Walnut tree on the property.
