We are deeply saddened to share the passing of Mark Dennis Stefl, resident of Northville, on January 14, 2020. He was born March 9, 1951 in Connellsville, Pennsylvania to Robert and Marguerite (Candi) Stefl. He graduated from Bethlehem Catholic High School and received his Bachelor’s Degree from Villanova in 1973. He went on to receive his MBA from the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana. A career in finance in the automotive industry brought him to Michigan. He worked at American Motors and later with Chrysler as the Far East Director. His love of working and traveling abroad led him to move his family to China briefly in the mid 90s, for a private equity company. He later worked happily at H&R Block. Mark is survived by his wife of 46 years, Kathryn. They have three loving sons, Andrew (Natalie), Brian, and Gregory and two grandchildren, Brendan and Payton. He is also survived by his siblings, Patricia (Charles) Prince, Thomas (Cindy), and James (Belinda). Mark will always be remembered for his fun loving ways and his cooking.
