Remembering Mark

A life held close in memory

Mark Perkins was a 45-year-old man who lived in the Darrow/Geismar area of Ascension Parish, Louisiana. Public records and local reporting identify him by name and age and place him in the community where he lived and where family, friends, and neighbors knew him.

Details about Mark’s early life, work, and daily interests are not publicly available in a formal obituary or family notice. What is clear from reliable local reporting is that he was a recognized member of his community — someone whose loss was felt by those around him. When public sources are limited, that absence of detail should not diminish the significance of an individual’s life. Every person leaves relationships, small routines, and private memories that matter deeply to family and friends.

On June 15, 2024, Mark Perkins sustained a gunshot wound in Darrow and later died from his injuries at a hospital. His death was investigated by the Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office, and subsequent criminal proceedings related to the incident have been reported in local news coverage and court records. Out of respect for the family and the privacy of those who knew him best, this remembrance focuses on Mark as a person from the Darrow/Geismar community rather than on legal details.

Although an authorized funeral-home obituary or family memorial matching his name and the exact date of death was not found in public obituary databases or funeral-home listings, local news accounts and official records confirm his identity and the date of passing. This page honors Mark Perkins by acknowledging him by name, place, and the fact that his life mattered to the people who knew him. If family members or a funeral home would like this memorial expanded with photos, personal memories, or service information, those additions can help celebrate Mark’s life in a more personal way.

May this brief remembrance acknowledge Mark Perkins as an individual whose presence touched others in his community, and may those who loved him find comfort in their memories.
