Mark Anthony Lilly was born December 27,1976 in Tyler, TX, to Paul Gene Lilly and Linda Lilly. He attended Chapel Hill School and graduated with a GED. Mark accepted Christ at a very early age and was united with Church of the Living God where he was a devoted member. In January this year he joined A New Church Life 107 with Pastor Andy Greeg in Tyler.

Mark was a man that if you met him and talked to him for 10 minutes you would never forget him. His smile was infectious and he cared so much for other people. He put them before himself. He enjoyed making all kinds of things out of anything we think is just junk. He worked for his big brother 2 years at Headliner Magic in Garland, TX before starting his own business doing lawns; and odd jobs and many other projects. The Lord called Mark home on July 8,2022 to a special place He prepared for him. But yet there is hope! All is not lost and all is well as Mark's family awaits that "Great Getting Up Morning, Fare Ye Well" of the Great Resurrection, that blissful reunion celebration for those left will be: mother, Linda Lilly; brother, Marcus Lilly (Meka); one nephew, Marcus Lilly Jr.; niece, Sharnece Lilly; four aunts, three uncles; special friend, Maria Cavabos; and a host of other relatives and friends. He was preceded in death by father, Paul Lilly; sister, Sharon Denice Lilly; grandparents, J.T. Lilly and Doris Lilly, Lula Mae Webb.
