Survived by his loving wife, Kim & daughters Kayla, Kirsten, Kourtlyn and Kennis Immel (Ocala), his parents Bud and Carole Immel (Ocala), as well as his sisters, Margie Armstrong and Sue Milton (Ocala) - Mark Steven Immel, 54 of Ocala has gone home and into the loving arms of his heavenly father, Jesus Christ. An avid fisherman and golf enthusiast, Mark was a lover of the great outdoors, especially the mountains. Mark was a dedicated financial advisor for over 25 years. He treated his clients as if they were family. The client’s interests always came first - in Mark’s eyes it did not matter if the client had $5,000 or $500,000, he gave the same effort to make sure their goals and objectives were achieved.
 
 This passion was evident in all other areas of Mark’s life - He was a friend to many and a constant source of laughter and positivity and uplifting joy. He had a tremendous heart for those in need and was always a helping hand. The greatest example of a father in his daughters eye’s, Mark was the Do-it-all dad. Softball coach, ballet recitals, volleyball games, horse shows and musical theater plays. A role-model, protector and a mender of broken hearts, he did it all. Mark and his wife Kim are the reason we have great love stories - together since high-school, they were the best of friend’s, soul-mates and God’s example of true love. But beyond all of these things, Mark was truly a man after God’s own heart. And while we mourn the loss of such an incredible friend, son, brother, father and husband - we know without certain that Mark was welcomed into his heavenly Father’s arms with a “Well done, my good and faithful son.”
