Funeral service will be held Sat, Jan 5, 10:00 AM, at Metropolitan Baptist Church, 7201 W. Britton in OKC. Mark R. Dyer passed away on Dec 31, 2012, after suffering complications from pneumonia. He was born in Tulsa on Mar 13, 1961 to Norris W. "Bud" Dyer and Martha Dyer. He married his beloved wife, Elizabeth Sleeper, on Jul 25, 1992, and they had six children. Their home is in Deer Creek (Edmond). Mark had a heart full of love and a deeply held faith in Jesus Christ. He was a member of Metropolitan Baptist Church, where he served terms as elder and deacon, and contributed his gifts richly to the church's ministries and communal life. He was a long-time employee and senior partner at the accounting firm Cole & Reed, after becoming a CPA in 1986. He graduated from Oklahoma State in 1984, and loved Cowboys wrestling and football. Mark wrestled for Hefner Jr. High and Putnam City HS in the 1970s, later graduating from Holland Hall HS in Tulsa in 1979. Throughout his life, he retained a love of choral music, Formula 1 racing, Dallas Cowboys football, and working on old Z-cars. His greatest loves, however, were his Lord, his dear wife and children, and his many friends. "He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers." (Psalm 1:3) Mark is survived by his wife, Elizabeth; his children, Stephen, Josiah, Caleb, Erin, Mary, and Micah; his mother, Martha Dyer (of OKC); and his siblings, Jennifer Dyer, John Dyer (of Norman), Stephanie Dyer McCorkle, and Susanna Dyer Stefanek. Mark will rest at Arlington Memory Gardens in Midwest City. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the Mark Dyer Memorial Fund at BancFirst, 6200 Waterford Blvd, Oklahoma City, OK 73118.
