Mark J. Glodowski, 60, of Arcadia, passed away peacefully on Sunday, September 27, 2026, at Mayo Clinic-St. Mary’s Hospital in Rochester, surrounded by the love of his family.
Born on August 14, 1966, in Arcadia, Mark was the son of Joseph and Phyllis (Patzner) Glodowski. He graduated from Arcadia High School and dedicated his life to farming and small business ownership, taking great pride in serving his community and caring for the land he called home.
On October 28, 1989, Mark married Lori Dubiel at Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Independence. Together they shared 36 years of marriage and were blessed with two sons, Alex and Jacob. Mark’s greatest joy was his family, and he especially treasured the time spent outdoors with his boys, teaching them the values of hard work, responsibility, and appreciation for the simple things in life.
A lifelong farmer, Mark found purpose and pride in caring for the land and the animals entrusted to him. He was known for his strong work ethic, steady presence, and willingness to lend a helping hand whenever it was needed. Whether working in the
fields, gathering with family, or sharing stories with friends while riding in his Kubota with his beloved dog, Wanda, by his side, Mark left a lasting impression on all who knew him. His quiet strength, sense of humor, and genuine kindness will be remembered by many.
He is survived by his loving wife, Lori; his son, Alex (Ali), and their baby boy, Mark’s first grandson, who is expected to arrive any day; brothers, Roy (Jennifer), Darin (Kim), and Damian (Becky) Glodowski; sisters, Renee (Andy) Rumpca, Julie (Dan) Murphy, and Maria (Randy) Johnson; many beloved nieces and nephews; and countless friends and neighbors who will miss him deeply.
Mark was preceded in death by his parents, Joseph and Phyllis Glodowski, and his son, Jacob Glodowski, in 2014.
The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to Russell Rumpca for the many ways he supported the farm during the past year. His kindness, friendship, and dedication provided comfort and assistance that will never be forgotten.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, October 6, 2026, at Most Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Pine Creek, with Father Kyle Laylan officiating.
Family and friends may gather for visitation beginning at 9:30 a.m. until the time of Mass at the church. Burial will follow in the church cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to Holy Family Catholic School in Arcadia. To express condolences to his family online, please visit www.wozneykillianfh.com.
