Obituary
Mark R. Feik, 53, of Peru, formerly from LaMoille, died the evening of May 1, 2016, in St. Francis Hospital, Peoria, from injuries sustained in an apartment fire.
He meant the world to many. He was a son, a brother, a brother-in-law, and uncle and friend. His family and friends are left empty in their grief, yet consoled with the endurance of Mark's love and the sympathy and prayers from so many people.
The funeral service will be at 10:30 a.m. Friday in Merritt Funeral Home, Mendota, with the Rev. Patrick Fixsen officiating. Burial will follow at Union Cemetery in LaMoille Township.

An avid golfer, Mark loved to play courses throughout Illinois and made and repaired golf equipment in his spare time. Mark was also a hopeful and optimistic Cubs fan. (Let's win it all for him this year, boys!) A livestock man from his birth, Mark raised and showed cattle and hogs in his 4-H days and followed livestock show results all his life. A graduate of Princeton High School, Mark received his associate's degree from Black Hawk College-East and attended Southern Illinois University in Carbondale.
