Obituary
Mark “Soft Deer who walks with Bear” Herpst, 65, of Lebanon, passed away at home July 18, 2023 after a brief illness.
Mark was a devoted husband, father, brother, veteran and Native Warrior. He was a mechanic by trade. He enjoyed riding motorcycles, attending pow-wows, spending time with his native family, hunting and fishing, but his real passion was rescuing and re-homing dogs. He never met a dog that he couldn’t work with. Mark was very devoted to his work with Alpha Dog Rescue in Lebanon. He was always there to help anyone in need.
Mark is survived by his wife of 36 years, Peggy of Lebanon, his 4 children, Jeremy, Michael, Richard and Crystal; 7 grandchildren, 2 sisters, 2 brothers and several nieces and nephews. He was also “Dad”, "Brother" and “Uncle” to many others over the years that he loved dearly.
A Celebration of Mark’s life will be held at a later date. Friends who wish may contribute to Alpha Dog Rescue, 1498 Carl Broggi Hwy., Lebanon, ME 04027
