May 11, 1954 – Sep 26, 2023

Mark J. “Fuzzy” Sherfinski, age 69, of Kenosha, passed away on Tuesday, September 26, 2023, following a long battle with cancer.

Mark was born in Kenosha on May 11, 1954, a son of the late Harry and Irene (nee: Organist) Sherfinski.  He attended Kenosha schools and was a 1972 graduate of St. Joseph High School.

On October 8, 1988, at St. Mark the Evangelist Catholic Church, he was united in marriage to Sharon L. Neu.

He was employed as a truck driver, beginning his career with Coca Cola, and retiring from Standard Forwarding after thirty years of service.

Mark was a member of St. Elizabeth Catholic Church.  He enjoyed the time he spent  with friends in the sun.  Mark enjoyed fishing, golfing, and coffee clutching with his buddies.  He loved to make pierogi’s, fish fries, and kielbasa for his family.  He was a fierce cribbage player with the guys, but a softy when it came to his grandchildren and family.  He would often play the role of Santa Claus at the holiday get together. He never missed a family event, always greeting everyone with a hug and a smile.

Survivors include his wife, Sharon; his two sons, Kevin (Jamie) Pecha, and Kenny (Rebecca) Pecha; his daughter in law, Bobbie Pecha; his grandchildren, Jason, Josh, Kasey, Korey, Ollie, and Max Pecha; great grandchildren Evie and Otto Pecha, and his siblings, David (Linda) Sherfinski and Mary Ann (Randy) Coleman.

Mark is further survived by his loving brothers and sisters in law, Barbara (Norman) Mecozzi, Bernie (Nickie) Neu, Jeanne Ryan, Dale Neu, Thomas (Sheryl) Neu, Teddy (Judy) Neu, Timothy (Betty) Neu, Anita (Tony) Conley, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Along with his parents, Mark was preceded in death by his son Kelly Pecha, a sister Carol Hernandez, and a brother James Sherfinski.
