SFC Mark E. Oiler, Sr., US Army, Ret. passed away on Tuesday, October 31, 2023 at Baptist Health Deaconess Madisonville.
Born March 19, 1953, in Steubenville, Ohio, he was the son of the late John W. Oiler, Sr. and the late LauVada Bake Oiler. Mark retired from the US Army as a SFC after 20 years of serving our country during the Korean War and Operation Desert Storm. After his retirement from the Army, he worked 10 years at Dana Corporation in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, and a short time as a Deputy Jailer for Trigg County. Mark enjoyed fishing, traveling, and sitting on his front porch enjoying nature with his wife, Linda. His greatest joy came from his family, especially being “Pa” and “Grump” to his nine grandchildren. He will be greatly missed by those who loved him and called him a friend.
