Obituary (from the Turrentine-Jackson-Morrow funeral home website):
Mark Alan Wellborn, a loving father, husband, teacher, and friend, tragically passed away unexpectedly on September 6. He was born on June 20, 1956, in St. Louis, Missouri and grew up in New Orleans, Louisiana. In 1980, he relocated to Texas with his family.
For 31 years, Mark worked in Plano ISD as a high school humanities teacher, gifted and talented coordinator and director of professional learning. During that time, he also taught history at Collin College and continued to do that to date. Mark was honored to be Plano ISD's Teacher of the Year in 1994.
So many young lives and teachers were positively impacted through Mark's work. Through his love of history and music he was able to express himself creatively and share those passions with others lucky enough to know him. Mark's sense of humor and quick wit made everyone's lives more enriched. He could always put a smile on your face even in the darkest times.
Music was Mark's life. He played lead guitar and sang vocals in several bands over the years. It was one of his favorite pastimes and hobbies.
"The way people come into your life when you need them, it's wonderful and it happens in so many ways. It's like having an angel. Somebody comes along and helps you get right." ~ Stevie Ray Vaughn
