Mark W. Molnar age 61 of Braceville Twp. passed away on Sunday January 19, 2025, after a courageous battle with neuroendocrine cancer with his family by his side. He was born on June 6, 1963, in Madison, OH to Sandra Lee (Urbanowicz) Molnar. The family relocated to Garrettsville, Ohio, where Mark graduated from James A. Garfield High School in the Class of 1981. After graduation, he began work in a machine shop. His ability to learn from the trade through several employers, allowed him to achieve the position of process engineer with NMG Aerospace, located in Stow, Ohio. Mark was a proficient handyman who could fix most anything. He loved fishing and camping with his family and friends. Mark loved feeding his family and friends different meat that he cooked on his smoker. He was always sure to nap on Thanksgiving Day, because he had been up all night smoking the family's Thanksgiving turkey. Mark was very proud of his contribution as a founding officer for the Labrae Youth Soccer Association and his leadership roles with LaBrae Little Vikings Football and Cheerleading program, as well as LaBrae High School Football Boosters. Mark married the love of his life, Janice Bailey, on September 1, 1990, and together they raised their three children, Michael (Ashley) Molnar, Megan (Lee) Macaulay, and Michelle Ritenour.

He is survived by his wife, children, mother, and his eight grandchildren; Bailey, Brayden, Carlee, Kyleigh,  Leiland, Tommy, Aila, and Harper. He is also survived by his brother, Bert (Kristina Meredith) Molnar, his sister, Janet (David) Schiopota, his brother and sister in laws, David and Marian Bailey, Diane and Charles Johnstone, and last but not least, his beloved Xena (AKA Wiggle Butt).

He was preceded in death by his adoptive father, Geza B. Molnar, grandparents; Vivian Urbanowicz, Edward Urbanowicz, Geza and Ruth Molnar, and mother and father in law, Dean and Phyllis Bailey.
