Mark Lampard Obituary
Born: June 19, 1953
Died: March 1, 2022
Mark Lampard, age 68 of Genoa, IL passed away peacefully on Tuesday, March 1, 2022, surrounded by his loving family. He was born on June 19, 1953, in Belvidere IL, to Clifford and Mary (Stevens) Lampard. He was raised in Genoa and spent his life there. Mark married Janette Finn on July 26, 1984.
Mark was very proud of owning and operating the Kishwaukee Fur Company for almost 50 years. He made good friends along his fur buying travels. He was a heavy equipment operator for the Local 150 for over 35 years. Mark was very knowledgeable about hunting, trapping and raising a variety "critters." He loved traveling with Janette in their RV to various destinations. He was very passionate about his ½ acre garden, always eager to show it off. He took such pride in his children and in being "Papa" to his grandchildren, taking them on tractor rides, growing them pumpkins, and feeding them full of candy from his stash in his office desk. Another one of Mark's loves was his 1973 Dodge Charger of which he was the original owner.
Mark is survived by his wife, Janette, his mother, Mary Dittman, three children, Marcus (Sarah) Lampard, Victoria (John) Lampard, and Mary (Mike) Bove, and his six grandchildren, Jackson and Emma Lampard, Christian and Mackenzie Lampard, and Grace and Ellie Bove. He is also survived by his sister Carol Lampard and brother Kent (Angie) Lampard and many nieces and nephews. Mark was preceded in death by his father, Clifford Lampard and brothers Jack and Russell Lampard.
