Stark spent his career in oil and gas, ranching

Christopher; and two grandchildren. Service: Memorial service at noon Saturday at St. Peter's Catholic Church, 202 W. Kronkosky St., Boerne. Eventually, Stark would switch to the oil and gas industry. In 1995, Stark took a job as a finance executive with Dawson Production Services. Over the course of the next 20 years, Stark, living with his wife and raising two daughters in Boerne, would hold finance executive positions at several San Antonio-area oil and gas companies. His last job was as controller of Flatrock Environmental and Engineering of San Antonio. Friends and relatives remember Stark as a devout family man. As daughter Sterling Stark Cuevas remembers, “He gave probably the world’s best bear hug.” Dina Stark said her husband was happiest cooking steaks in a cast iron skillet for family and friends, while telling stories. Another one of his cooking specialties was peach cobbler. As a testament to his love of family, Stark was on his way to Dallas to deliver presents on the day after Christmas to his mother, Euline Loafman. He had barely started on the trip when his truck spun out of control, causing the fatal accident. “He had the steaks in the YETI (cooler) in the back of the truck,” Dina Stark said. “He had the presents, and he was playing Santa Claus one more time. We had a beautiful Christmas Eve and Christmas.” In lieu of flowers, family suggests donations to the P. Mark Stark Memorial Fund; 7431 Dietz Elkhorn; Fair Oaks Ranch, Texas. bolivo@express-news.net twitter: mySAdowntown ... (mySanAntonio.com)
