Mark Allen Shrader
Mark Allen Shrader, 19, of Ellsworth, died Thursday, December 30, 2021, after a lifelong illness.
Mark was born September 6, 2002, in Uniontown Hospital, the son of Deana Renninger Shrader, of Ellsworth, and Raymond Shrader, of Washington.
He is also survived by three siblings, Cordale Poling (Fiancee Amanda Carter), at home, Kenneth Conkey (Marisa), of West Alexander, and Matthieu Wright, at home; three nephews, Wyatt Conkey, Kolton Poling and Cordale Poling Jr.; two grandparents, Linda Wagner and Connie Shrader; as well as several aunts and uncles.
A special graduation was held for him this past May at his home, by the Bentworth High School Class of 2021.
Mark was a voracious reader, video gamer, and enjoyed chilling with his brother and nephews.
He loved to read histories of World War II, and would have joined the military if he had been able.
Though his body could not sustain him, his mind kept on thinking and dreaming until his last breath.
