Mark Allen Cokley

Mark Allen Cokley, age 69, of Ada, Minnesota, formerly of Shoreview, Minnesota, died on Tuesday, November 25, 2025, at the Halstad Living Center in Halstad, Minnesota.

Mark grew up in the Twin Cities area and graduated from Kellogg-Roseville High School with the Class of 1974. From a young age he developed a strong work ethic and a love for the outdoors that carried through his entire life.

On October 8, 1977, Mark was united in marriage to Kim Wolff in Roseville, Minnesota. They made their home in Shoreview, where they raised their three children, Angela, Ashley, and Brian. Mark and Kim later relocated to Ada after 47 years in Shoreview.

Mark worked as a plumber and was a dedicated member of Local Union 34, from which he proudly retired after many years of service. His coworkers and customers knew him as reliable, skilled, and hardworking.

Outside of work, Mark loved to hunt and fish. Time outdoors was where he felt most at peace, and he cherished sharing those experiences with family and friends. But above all else, Mark cherished and loved his family.

Mark is survived by his wife of 48 years, Kim; their children, Angela (Mike) Nelson, Ada, MN, Ashley (Jeff) Hoit, Hugo, MN, and Brian (Ashley) Cokley, Lino Lakes, MN; grandchildren, Tanner (Kaylee), Easton, Madelyn, Parker, Griffin, Bryce, Caleb, Vivian, Sophie, and Ellie; great grandchild, Oaklynn; mother, Margaret Cokley; sister, Lori (Jim) Grove; and other relatives and friends who will miss him dearly.

He was preceded in death by his father, Donald Cokley; and grandparents, Al and Rayma Kubes.
