Mark D. Tatlock

November 16, 1950 - January 31, 2016

Mark D. Tatlock, 65 of Seymour, Indiana, passed away Sunday, January 31, 2016, at home.

He was born November 16, 1950, in Seymour, Indiana, the son of D. L. “Don” and Betty June (Waskom) Tatlock both of whom survive.

He married his wife of 44 years, Loretta Jaynes, on October 1, 1971, in Seymour, Indiana, and she survives.

Mark graduated from Crothersville High School in 1968. He was a loyal employee of HPI in Seymour since 1973. Whenever they needed anything fixed, they said, “Call Pappy!” Mark was baptized into the Christian Faith as a child. His happiest moments were when he and his son and grandson were fishing. Neighbors always saw Mark pulling his red fishing wagon to the Mutton Creek Lake any time he could get there. He was always generous to anyone – especially any kids fishing. Along with fishing, some of Marks favorite hobbies included feeding the birds and squirrels daily, attending auctions with his wife as well as loving to look for treasures at Flea Markets. Mark loved tinkering in his garage especially with his 1985 red truck. He loved the outdoors and working in his yard. Mark was a loyal friend to so many who will miss him, his wit and jokes, and how he always wanted to have fun with people.

He is survived by his parents, wife, son, Scott (Rexanna) Tatlock, grandson, Ethan Tatlock, brothers: Rodney L. (Teresa) Tatlock, Gregory L. (Cindy) Tatlock, and Evan G. (Linda) Tatlock; uncles, Robert and Melvin Tatlock, aunts, Shelby Johnson and Deborah Abbott, brothers and sisters-in-law: Greg and Rita Monroe, Nick and Betsy Prewitt, Tim and Kelie Jaynes, and Dean and Jody Trapp; many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, cousins, and many loving friends and neighbors.

He is preceded in death by his son, Matthew Tatlock, paternal grandparents, Kerry and Marie Tatlock, maternal grandparents, Roy and Ruth Waskom, four uncles, three aunts and three nephews.

Funeral service will be at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, February 5, 2016, at Voss Chapel. Burial will follow at Riverview Cemetery.

Friends and family may call at Voss Chapel Thursday from 3 to 8 p.m. and Friday after 10:00 a.m. until time of service.

My wife and I had the privilege of living next door to Mark and Loretta for a few years. Great people who always had a kind word. Mark always took the time to ask about my day and my family each time I saw him working in the yard. He taught me a lot about lawn care and fishing! He will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with Loretta and the entire family.

Sheri and I were very much saddened on learning of Mark's passing. I will greatly miss the sharing of stories, family, and jokes. Our heart-felt condolences to all of his family.

Our prayers of comfort and peace which only the Lord can provide in your deep grieving are with the entire family. We give thanks for the blessing of the gift of Mark and the countless ways he fostered goodness - especially for his generous kindness to so many. He will be remembered as a truly special reflection of God's presence among us all. Rebecca and John Mathias (Teresa Tatlock's sister and brother-in-law)

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
