FRANKLIN - On Feb. 17, 2022, the angels came calling for Mark McClure and he was ready!
Mark was born on Dec. 14, 1977, to Kathy Scott Stamey (Mike) and the late William “Billy” McClure (Shirley).
Mark was a member of East Franklin Baptist Church. He loved and had dedicated many years serving as a volunteer fire fighter here in Macon County. He loved hunting, spending time outdoors, and his chickens. Mark loved people and people loved him! He never met a stranger. He loved selling scrap metal, wheeling and dealing, and talking to people. He enjoyed when he could “babble” as he called auctioneering.
Above all he loved the Lord, and recently he had felt Jesus calling him to reach out and testify to others to be sure where they would spend eternity. Mark knew he was Heaven bound and he was not ashamed to share with others.
Tami was Mark’s true love and wife of almost 17 years. He shared his love for her with all his big heart. Mark McClure will be missed but he has shown us how to love each other and our Lord, Jesus. He would want us to be ready to fly with the Angels. As he always said, “True Story.”
Mark is survived by his beloved wife, Tami Cunningham McClure; stepchildren, Timothy “Robbie” Stevens (Brison) and Cassie Jo McMahan (Breanna); these special boys that were lucky enough to call him “Gaga,” Keith, Isaiah and Niko, that he loved like his own; brother, Timothy McClure (Tifani); nieces, Mykayla McClure, Madison McClure and Sydni Carpenter; nephew, Travis Carpenter; maternal grandparents, Zeb and Dorothy Scott; stepbrothers, Jeff Floyd (Melissa) and Scott Floyd; stepsister Stacey Floyd; as well as brother-in-law and true best friend, Bo Cunningham (Christie).
