Mark Jason Weeks

Mark Jason Weeks, husband of Ronda Bickers Weeks, returned to his Father in Heaven on December 8, 2017 after a long battle with complications arising from diabetes he lived with since the age of 9. He was the oldest of four children born to Darwin Weeks and JoAnn Larsen Weeks on February 1, 1969 at Logan LDS Hospital. Mark was raised in San Diego, however he always had a fascination and love for Utah and Cache Valley. He lived life to the fullest, always to one extreme or another. He was well known for adopting 80’s “mod” culture and riding around on a Vespa scooter with too many mirrors and a sidecar. British ska, new wave and punk rock music became the soundtrack to his life. He moved from California to Logan at the age of 21 where he raised a large family and never had a shortage of friends. Mark had a big heart and went out of his way to help others even as he struggled every day with his own ailments. Never idle and always enterprising, over the years he had computer businesses and worked in hotel management. He was an enthusiast of guns and everything motorized, working on and selling cars, motorcycles and scooters. Mark married the love of his life, Ronda Bickers, on December 19, 2009. More than anything, he was a family man who loved to torture his kids with dad jokes. His children were always astounded by his knowledge and wisdom; fatherly advice was his forte. Through the most difficult years of his declining health he was cared for tirelessly by Ronda, their children and their Ward family. He is survived by children Jessica Weeks, Jason Weeks, Hannah Weeks, Joshua Weeks, Sydney Weeks, Christopher Hopper, Cole Baker, Cade Baker; Ronda’s children Rick Kemp, Jason Kemp, and Devan Bickers, who considered Mark a father, and 10 grandchildren; brother Darin Weeks and sisters Jill Weeks Smith and Lisa Weeks Valiant. He was preceded in death by grandparents George and Alice Weeks of Smithfield and Owen and Merle Larsen of Newton. Mark had a testimony of a loving Savior and Father in Heaven, and in this new chapter of his life he is now surrounded by loved ones who passed before him. Services will be held at the chapel located 2825 South 1000 West, in Nibley, Monday, December 11 at Noon preceded by a viewing at 10:30AM.
