Mark Andrew Koch 1986 - 2022

Mark Andrew Koch, 36, of Roseville, passed away on December 3, 2022. He is survived by his wife, Breanne and son James, both of Roseville, his mother, Cheryl Koch, and father, Alan Koch and his brother, Matthew Koch, all of Lincoln. He was preceded in death by his beloved grandparents, Brad and Lorraine Koch of Lincoln, just days before he passed. Mark was born in Ventura, California but lived most of his life in Placer County. He graduated from Forest Lake Christian High School in 2004. He met Breanne while working at Starbucks and they married in 2008 at Walt Disney World in Florida, which was fitting because they both love everything Disney. Mark was a very hard-working individual, often holding two or three jobs at one time. He loved working and managing in the food service and hospitality industries, but in recent years he spent the bulk of his time designing and building management systems for independent insurance agencies. He was a licensed insurance agent in the states of California and Florida. He specialized in insurance agency accounting and technology and enjoyed working with agencies throughout the country. He also worked beside his mother in her business over many years, helping to provide consulting, training and education in the insurance industry. When he was 18, Mark began serving as a youth sports official for the Northern California Officials Association and Sierra Sports Services. He was the owner of WhistleThis!, a youth sports service providing officials to various local cities and recreation leagues. Most people who worked with him in these endeavors considered him an outstanding official, trainer, and partner. Mark was a Renaissance man and he will be missed by many whose lives and businesses he touched. He had a great sense of humor and an infectious laugh. And he was truly a genius. A Celebration of Mark's life will be held on Saturday, March 4, 2023 at 11:00 am at 390 Big Ben Road in Lincoln.
