Mark Oneal Mashburn

We are sad to announce that Mark Oneal Mashburn, 53, passed away on May 9, 2023. Mark was born in Sheffield, Alabama to Athel and Lona Mashburn. While growing up in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, Mark made many friends. In September of 1994, Mark joined the United States Air Force and retired as a master sergeant in September, 2018.  During his 24 years of service, he proudly served in Camp Darby, Italy; Andersen Air Force Base, Guam; Ramstein Air Force Base, Germany; Little Rock Air Force Base, Arkansas. After retiring, Mark continued to serve for the military community at the Veterans Affairs. 

As a kid, Mark was always the one to get in trouble but somehow managed to still be the teachers' favorite. Growing up did not stop him from continuing his jokes and pranks.  Mark was a master at the grill, coach of any sport and a devoted Alabama football fan. His kids will remember him for being a loving, supportive and proud father. The world will never forget how big of a heart he had. 

Mark was preceded in death by his father Athel Mashburn. 

Mark is survived by his wife, Audrey Mashburn; his children, Jordan, Kelsey and Jake Mashburn; his mother Lona Mauk; siblings Diane Mashburn-King, Debra Arnold and Mike Mashburn; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Mark Mashburn will be honored with a visitation on Monday, May 15, 2023 from 11 a.m-1 p.m. at Colbert Memorial Chapel with a graveside service to follow at Liberty Hill Baptist Church Cemetery at 2 p.m. Those who desire may send flowers to the Colbert Memorial Chapel or may make memorial donations to the Wounded Warrior Project at woundedwarriorproject.org.
