Mr. Mark Edward "Mook" Tearney, age 73, passed away on July 20, 2026, in Kansas City, Missouri at the Kansas City Hospice House. Born on July 11, 1953, in Kansas City, Kansas, Mark lived a life filled with dedication to his craft, love for his family, and a passion for his hobbies.

Mark graduated from Bishop Ward High School and pursued further education at KCK Community College and the University of Kansas. He built a respected career as a traditional old-school printer, working at various local printing companies before concluding his professional journey at Lake City Ammunition. His commitment to his work reflected his meticulous nature and strong work ethic.

Outside of his career, Mark found joy in photography and riding his motorcycle. These hobbies brought him great happiness and allowed him to connect with others who shared similar interests. Known for being fun-loving and a good friend to many, Mark's presence was cherished by those fortunate enough to know him. He was also loyal KC Chiefs and KC Royals and KU fan.

Mark is survived by his beloved wife, Marilyn Tearney; his brothers Dick Tearney and Todd Tearney; and his sister Karen Hays. His loyal mini poodles Jackson and Rona will miss their PawPaw. He was predeceased by his parents, Ralph and Patricia Tearney, as well as his brothers Greg "Grub" Tearney and Scott Tearney and sister Kelly Campbell.

Mark's memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew him. May he be remembered for the laughter he shared, the friendships he nurtured, and the legacy he leaves behind as an organ donor.

I sure have a lot of memories with Mook and the old Cold Club gang. I remember the great food he used to make in the kitchen there. I had the honor of seeing Marilyn and Mark get married nearly 50 years ago.i know they had a great life together and Marilyn was by his side through thick and thin. Stay strong Marilyn you know I am always here for you. I know Mark is resting peacefully now.
