Mark Kern

Mark Andrew Kern, 73, of Fowler, passed away in his home on May 12, 2026.

Born in Tippecanoe County on May 30, 1952, Mark was the son of June and Andrew Kern. He grew up in the area and graduated from Benton Central High School.

Mark was a man of many talents and interests. An incredibly handy and practical person, he had a gift for remodeling houses and was even a bit ahead of his time—installing a windmill long before they became a staple of the Benton County landscape. In his free time, Mark enjoyed computer games, bowling, gardening, and spending time coaching softball.

Mark’s legacy lives on through his family. He is survived by his daughter; four granddaughters; a great-granddaughter and a great-grandson; his sisters; and his ex-wife, Deb Kern.

There will be a visitation for Mark on Monday, May 18, 2026, from 5:00 - 6:00 PM (ET) at Gerts, Windler & Keller Funeral Home ~ Fowler Chapel. Mark’s cremated remains will be interred at Fowler Cemetery on Friday, May 22, 2026, with a graveside service beginning at 12:30 PM (ET).
