Mark Phillip Zielinski

Mark P. Zielinski, 65, Bidwell, Ohio passed away Monday, December 5, 2016 at his residence. He was born January 16, 1951 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, son of the late Raymond and Anita (Kochanski) Zielinski. Mark was a United States Marine Corp veteran, an iron worker and carpenter by trade and an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting, trapping and fishing. Whether fishing in the Sebastian Inlet or ginseng hunting in the hills of Ohio, he had a great respect and understanding of the outdoors. Mark was a simple man who took pride in caring for his chickens, homing pigeons and his beloved dogs.

He had a gentle, generous soul and took pride in helping his friends and neighbors. His witty sense of humor and intellect could light up a room. He was loving, caring and compassionate. He will be missed terribly by all who knew him, especially his children.

He is survived by his children: Anita (Brian Bean) Zielinski-Bean; Scott (Amy Beech) Zielinski; Jennifer (Corey) Longstreth and Ashley Zielinski; five grandchildren; brothers: Paul (Sharen Fulmer) Zielinski and John Zielinski; special nephew, Graeme Zielinski and very special friends: Tim and Jamie Bartee and Justin White.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a brother, Peter Zielinski.

Memorial services will be 12:00 Noon Saturday, December 10, 2016 at First Southern Baptist Church, 41872 Pomeroy Pike, Pomeroy, Ohio. Cremation services are under the direction of the McCoy-Moore Funeral Home, Wetherholt Chapel, Gallipolis, Ohio who is honored to serve the Zielinski Family.
