Obituary for HAURY


Published in the Albuquerque Journal on Wednesday May 14, 2014

HAURY, MARK RANDOLPH "RANDY" to his family, made his way to Heaven on Thursday, May 8, 2014. He was born and raised in Albuquerque and had many friends and a loving family who will miss him dearly. Mark was preceded in death by his mother, Lonah Haury, and brothers, Richard K. Haury and Ronald G. Haury. He is survived by his father, Kenneth Haury; sister, Margery Buckner and husband, Jerry; and brother, George Robert Haury, and wife Marian; uncle, Richard N. Wilson and wife, Jane of Golden, Colorado; cousins, George Wilson and Winona Wilson. Mark had a sharp wit and his nieces and nephew were at the receiving end, growing up with "Uncle Randy." He was a favorite uncle of Winona Buckner Robinson, Jennifer Buckner, Amy Haury, Courtney Haury, Ricky Haury and Stephanie Haury. Ricky and Stephanie were especially close to Randy. Mark leaves behind his friend, Ms. Faith Enflin and family. Mark graduated from Eldorado High School where he played football and was the first state wrestling champion from Eldorado. It was a proud moment for Mark and his family when he won his weight class in Las Cruces and his brother, Rick, also a state champion from a previous year, was able to present him his medal. Over the years, his picture was hanging in the Eldorado gym. He attended the University of New Mexico on a wrestling scholarship for a brief time and was particularly disappointed when UNM discontinued their wrestling program. Mark was a gifted beadwork artist and made many treasured items for family and friends. He enjoyed making all types of traditional dress such as bustles for fancy dancing during cultural events. Mark worked in all facets of residential construction and was especially successful in cement work and block work. He also worked in plumbing and was an all-around handyman. Mark was blessed with an outgoing personality and was especially loved by children of all ages. He was willing to help others and had a generous spirit. We know that he is enjoying the reunion now with his mother and brothers in Heaven. A Memorial Service will be Wednesday, May 14, 2014, 7:00 p.m. at FRENCH Lomas.
