Mark Eugene Storey, 56, of Kannapolis, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, July 9, 2025.
Mark was born on May 20, 1969 in Cabarrus County. He was the cherished son of Janice Cress Greeson and the late Carl Storey Jr. In addition to his father, he was preceded in death by his grandparents, Helen and Carl Storey Sr. and Mr. and Mrs. T.A. Burris.
Mark leaves behind a lifetime of unforgettable memories, laughter, and love. To know him was to love him and chances are, if you crossed paths with him, you ended up as a friend.
Mark was always happiest by the water. The beach, lakes, rivers anywhere with waves or sunshine was his sanctuary. He had a deep love for music and was a passionate collector, always on the hunt for a hidden gem like a true American picker.
Mark also had an undeniable flair for fashion. He loved a sharp outfit and never passed up a great pair of shoes. Every season was a reason to celebrate. He went all out decorating for the holidays from Halloween to Christmas, his home always felt full of cheer. Mark was a proud BMW owner and a dedicated hard worker. He enjoyed watching NASCAR and found happiness in gardening, laughter in amusement parks, and connection in every conversation.
Most of all, he was a people person. Outgoing and full of life, he could strike up a conversation with anyone. He never met a stranger, just future friends. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
Those left to cherish his memory include his son, Cameron Storey; granddaughter, Channing Storey; mother, Janice Cress Greeson, sisters, Denise Watts and Jennifer Wood (Kenny); nieces and nephews, Logan Watts, Laci Turner, Matthew Wood and Kaitlyn Wood; and his best friend, Brian Covington.
A memorial service to honor Mark’s life will be held at 3:30pm on Saturday, July 12, 2025 at Whitley’s Funeral Home in Kannapolis with Rev. Billy Carey officiating.
