Mark Capps, affectionately known as “Tex”, age 74, transitioned to his Heavenly Home at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, August 27th. Mark was born on July 23, 1946, in Ft. Hood, Texas, the son of Herman Capps and Nellie Marie Calabria Capps. Mark was a compassionate, Christian man who had a passion for helping others. He served as a leader in his churches and his community.
Mark was a brilliant man of genius IQ. He started his own business as early as college. He was an independent man who worked for himself most of his life. He went back to school later in life to get a degree in psychology so he could help others even more. He became a certified hypnotherapist in order to make his therapy practice more effective.
Mark had many talents including painting, sculpting, and photography, but his favorite hobby by far was dancing. He was a championship swing dancer as well as an accomplished ballroom dancer.
The Funeral Service will be held at Ross Brothers & Lellio Funeral Home in Youngstown, Ohio, on Friday, September 4th at 12:30 p.m.
