Mark Anthony Sorensen passed away May 26th, 2024 at his home in Gilbert, Az. He was able to be reunited with his wife, Christina Sorensen, and his parents Janet & Lincoln Sorensen along with grandparents, aunts and uncles who preceded him in death.
Mark was born October 27, 1956 in Provo, UT as the oldest of 6 children, 3 boys and 3 girls. He spent his childhood in North Ogden UT. He served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Munich Germany. After attending college at BYU Provo, Mark moved with his family to Arizona where he lived for over 40 years.
Mark had a passion for sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. He loved meeting people, getting to know their story and then finding ways to serve them. He loved to read, to be outdoors, especially in Bear Lake Utah, and to watch everything on BYU tv. Mark loved his family and was constantly trying to improve and become a better person.

I am so sorry to hear about Mark’s passing. My parents Vern and Dawn, were very close friends of Mark’s parents, Janet and Linc! My dad, Vern Brimley went to South High with Linc. Janet and Linc were always very friendly to my sisters and me. My sister, Sheryl, and I remember Mark. My mother, Dawn who recently passed away was good friends with Janet. My father, Vern is 93 and he has very happy memories of the Sorenson’s.
Another connection I have with Mark is that my very good friend was a mission companion of his in Germany. His name is Elder Heninger. He speaks very highly of Elder Sorenson. The Brimley family expresses their love and sympathy to Mark’s children, siblings and extended family.
