d. June 2, 2016
Mark Blaine Painter died unexpectedly on Thursday, June 2, 2016 in Albuquerque, NM. Mark was born June 21, 1988 and grew up in White Rock, NM. He was a graduate of Los Alamos High School and New Mexico State University. At the time of his death, he had just finished his second year of law school at the University of New Mexico. He had found a passion in law school, was doing well, and was looking forward to a great career.
Mark enjoyed hiking, backpacking, and camping. He enjoyed chess, fantasy football with friends and family, and Pichenotte. He also took pleasure in playing music (keyboard and piano) and personal fitness.
He was a beloved son, grandson, brother, nephew, uncle, cousin, and friend. It was hard to walk away from talking with Mark without a smile on your face. He was a tender and sensitive soul, and affected many lives for the better. He was good medicine to be around and eagerly listened to others without judgement.
