OBITUARY
Mark Heinze, 74, of San Angelo, passed away February 6, 2026.
He was born October 7, 1951, to Milton and Gladys (Eckert) Heinze, and grew up near the community of Miles. After high school graduation, Mark attended Texas A&M University where he earned degrees in Animal Science and a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree. He also earned a degree in Banking/Finance from the University of Texas at Austin.
Mark practiced veterinary medicine for several years before spending over 37 years in banking.
Mark was a lifelong Lutheran and enjoyed being a part of that faith. He was born with a servant’s heart and was a giver. Wherever Mark was or whatever he was doing, you knew he was a believer. He loved his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He earned the beloved nickname “Daddo” and his grandchildren were his world.
Mark is survived by his wife, Renae; his children, Matt Heinze and Julie and Curt Storey; and his grandchildren, Ellie Storey and Hudson Storey.
Mark is also survived by his brothers, Leonard Heinze, Brent and She’re Heinze, and his brother-in-law Richard Ramsey and their families as well as several cousins, including Janice Amarine. He is also survived by Renae’s family, Becky and Felipe Shamburger, Myra and Phil Sonnenberg, John and Terri Pruitt and their families. Also surviving are special friends Wade Golson, Jaden and Kate Kneighton, John and Diann McMinn, Ron and Shirley Jarzombek, and many wonderful friends and neighbors at Rio Concho West.
Mark was preceded in death by his parents, his sister Marilyn Ramsey, and sister-in-law Nancy Heinze.
