Mark S Favour Obituary
We are sad to announce that on June 9, 2018, at the age of 59, Mark S Favour (Prescott, Arizona) passed away. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.
Standing at 6'9" with a booming voice to match, he could easily be seen as an intimidating presence. However, it took only a moment to see that the only thing as big as him was his giant heart. Every time he ducked his head and entered a room his bright smile was sure to light it up. No one ever stayed a stranger for long. He lived by the principal that we should all do whatever we could to help our fellow man. There are innumerable people that found out first hand that his generosity truly knew no bounds. He was a member of the Yavapai Mounted Sheriff's Posse, Arizona Cattle Growers Assn. and Prescott Kiwanis Club, where he held various leadership positions over the years. He also served as president for both the Arizona Jr Rodeo Assn. & Arizona High School Rodeo Assn. Mark supported many charitable causes, with a particular soft spot for youth organizations and his community. He had a passion for rodeo where two of his daughters competed from a young age and then professionally, and two of his sons-in-law continue to compete professionally as well. It is a community that he felt embraced ideals that closely reflected his own, and of which he was a well known and respected member. He loved the sport and he loved the people in it. No all-night drive was too long, and no performance too long for him to be the last man standing. Mark is survived by his wife Kim. He leaves his legacy in three beloved daughters, Annie F. Sharp (Harper), Lindsay F. Branquinho (Luke), and Holly F. Jones (Blaine) and his six grandchildren, Ella, Weston, Owen, Mark Cade, Jameson, & Bear. Mark also leave behind his sister Allison F. Kravetz, as well as Kim's sons Matthew and Zachary (Nicole, daughter Mia). A memorial service will be held Sunday, June 24, 2018 at 3:00 pm at the Prescott Rodeo Grounds main grandstand. All that wish to come and share in honoring and remembering Mark Favour, and the many lives he touched, are welcome. The family would direct those wishing to donate in Mark's memory to The Yavapai County Mounted Sheriff's Posse Scholarship fund, P.O. Box 95 Prescott, AZ 86302. Additionally, Mark and his family have always been incredibly thankful to all those that helped him through the donation of blood over the past 11 years. As such, we encourage those able to consider donating blood or to simply extend a kind word or gesture to those around you.
