John “Mark” Landrey, 83, of New Castle, Pennsylvania passed away peacefully Sunday, October 4, 2020 at Lomond Peak Nursing Home in Ogden, Utah. Resident of Brigham City, Utah for only the last 5 months of his life to be with his family.

When Mark returned at 18, he went to college and became a professor of history and theology at Azusa Pacific University in California.
Mark became legally blind in his mid 40’s that forced him to retire, however he continued in teaching ministry for the rest of his life.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Beulah (92), father, John L. (85) and oldest brother Richard Landrey (3).
He leaves behind his wife of nearly 61 years, Dorothy Elaine Landrey. Three beloved children; Brian (Lynn), Barbara (John), and Brad (Dorian).

As well as 8 great-grandchildren, Matthew (16), Noah (13), Elijah (9), Jonah (5), Ryder (4), Lilly (3), Everly (2), and Knox (due Jan 2021). As well as many, many other loving family members.
There will be no memorial at this time due to the pandemic but are hoping to have one in their hometown church, Sierra Vista Presbyterian Church, Oakhurst, California in spring of 2021.
