Mark Nemec, age 66, Custer, formerly of Midland, S.D., died  Wednesday, April 4, 2018, at his home in Custer.
  Mark Vincent Nemec, son of Edward and Elizabeth (Puryear) Nemec, was born Feb. 1, 1952, at St. Mary’s Hospital in Pierre, South Dakota.
He grew up on the family farm northeast of Midland and attended Pheoba Country School through the eighth grade, prior to graduating from Midland High School in 1970. Mark then attended South Dakota State University in Brookings, where he met Glenda Morehouse.
Mark was united in marriage to Glenda  April 28, 1973, in Andover. They farmed and ranched at the family farm northeast of Midland for the next 29 years. They later moved to the beautiful Black Hills where he resided until his death.

He was always ready for a game of cards and proved himself playing pac-man on Atari. He took great pride in all his grandchildren and loved looking at their pictures. His grandchildren were his pride and joy from giving rides on the four-wheeler to building them toy trains to showing them how everything worked. He always loved when they came to visit.
