Mark A. Schowalter, age 52, passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, October 31, 2012, at his residence. Mark was born in Racine, November 12, 1959, son of Donald E. and Patricia A. (Nee: Meyers) Schowalter.
Mark was a graduate of William Horlick High School “Class of 1977” and furthered his education at UW-Whitewater. On April 8, 1997, in Runaway Bay, Jamaica, he was united in marriage to Julie L. Romprey. Mark was last employed as an Equipment Operator at We Energies and previously by P.D.I. for many years. He was also the owner of Strip Club Choppers of Wisconsin. Mark was a member of the Local Union 420 International Brotherhood of Operating Engineers, German Club and the Moose Lodge. An avid fisherman, hunter and golfer, Mark also enjoyed football in his earlier years. Mark had a zest for life, camping with his friends and traveling, especially to his favorite spot, Jamaica.
