Mark Alcott
October 22, 1966 ~ June 16, 2018
Resided in:
Fremont, California
Mark Phillip McHenry “Bullet” Alcott, born October 22, 1966, passed on June 16, 2018 while diving. He was 51 years old. Mark was preceded in death by his father Hugh Alcott of Eureka Springs, Arkansa, his brother in law Mike Charron, and his nephew Sam Ivan Dennis. He is survived by his daughter Sequoia Corsick-Alcott, the love of his life Kim Stark, step son Cody Stark and his grandson Jackson Stark. He is also survived by his mother La Donna Alcott, brother Mike Alcott, sisters Candy Alcott and Sandy Charron, all of Pensacola, Florida and brother Mitch Alcott and sister in law Barbara of Newark, California. Mark also leaves behind many nieces and a nephew.
At an early age Mark was very athletic and funny. As he became a teenager his sarcastic wit was refined to a razors edge. It was both his humor and life size personality that always drew people to him. He was the life of the party, a walking, talking joke machine who could turn the worst scenario into a laughable moment. He earned his nickname “Bullet” early on once his reputation spread of his ability to complete quality floor installation jobs in record time. Mark mastered his craft in the floor industry but it was his ability to please people that had clients become more like friends. He was very well known for “Bullet Proof Floors” the successful company he started and ran.
Mark’s zest for life was ever contagious. He loved to travel with his fiance, explore the outdoors with his daughter, enjoy the freedom of riding his motorcycle, the challenge of golf, go diving whenever he could, play softball as much as possible, and make people laugh. Many evenings Mark spent with Kim, Sequoia, and his beloved furry Hula who captured his heart. At any given moment Mark could be relied on for fatherly support to Cody, he could always count on his step- dad for whatever task at hand. Mark had a way of making everyone feel like things were going to work out, like things were going to be okay if you just kept smiling and mostly laughing through it- through the highs and the lows. Mark was beyond generous to his family and friends. His loyalty was never questionable.
Among all of his accomplishments in life, nothing made him more proud than his daughter Sequoia. Becoming a father to Sequoia, adventuring, star gazing, and making memories with his daughter was a sight to see. Mark’s smile in the presence of his daughter was blinding. He loved Sequoia with all his might and she loved all the same.
Recently Mark’s friend Kevin described him as a mighty oak tree, with a tree trunk like chest, towering height, and mighty limbs, providing a deeply rooted protective canopy to those near him. We miss Mark greatly, we miss his tree trunk hugs, wise ass jokes, warm smile, and infectious laugh.
Please join us to laugh some more, to celebrate a one of kind man who will truly be missed.
A visitation will be held on June 26, 2018 between 2:30 and 3:30 PM with a service to follow at 3:30 at Berge-Pappas-Smith Chapel of the Angels in Fremont.

We just met Mark and Kim on their last trip to the Turks and Caicos. Kim was on the beach by herself because Mark was off doing what he loved (diving) Struck up a conversation with Kim, where are you from, how long have you been coming here the normal stuff. Mark returned came right over to us shook our hands and said Hi I’m Mark. The vacation was never the same they both made us laugh so hard. Every time we ran into them they had great stories and Photos of their adventures from that day. We just felt like we made two great friends and felt like we’ve known each other for a long time. When Kim told me of Marks passing it just seemed like how could this be. We were both in shock and disbelief. Our hearts were heavy for Kim. Kim cherish all those great memories with Mark and all those wonderful photos of the two of you and know Mark will always be with you.. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and yours. We will be thinking of you next Tuesday
The news of Mark’s passing was shocking and heartbreaking. I will always remember Mark with a smile on his face. My heart goes out to Kim, Sequoia, Cody and the rest of the family. I am praying that God will bring some comfort to you all. RIP, Mark.
Dear Kim, our hearts break for you and your family. Our deepest condolences.
Much Love and Prayers,
Les and Amy Robins
Mark was not only a great brother-in-law, but a psuedo brother, and great friend. I loved breaking things down in sports with him. I could go on for days in those convos with him. He always liased me with Sequoia throughout the years and it was always fun to connect and catch up at these times. As with everyone, I was shocked and then full of grief when myself and family began hearing the news of his passing. Nothing prepares you. Our hearts and prayers are with Sequoia, Kim, Mark’s family, and extended friends and family in all directions. Peaceful loving angels be with you.
My friend Mark was never far from wherever the laughter originated! We bent elbows and held down barstools for quite a few years! We could start out having A BEER and as the crowd began to join us due to his rapid fire unbiased ripping sense of humor that single beer turned in to several! Sorry Kim! I know he was supposed to get home but it was infectious! I needed a player to fill in for a team that was short handed in Newark one day and asked Mark if he could join me…. the other guys were like “Is your friend any good?” Well after his second home run (in to the wind) I guess he answered THAT question as we proceeded to beat an undefeated team and tie for first place in the league! “Can HE come back next week????” I heard that everywhere I landed with him….I still hear it! Thanks for being part of my life brother!
I will always remember Mark as a larger than life personality, he can make you smile & laugh at just about anything. his passion for life was second to none…. I was just next to him in the outfield when we were playing for the championship as he joked he has not play right field in years. he made 2 diving catches of course….. Im still in shock as all of are…….rest well my friend you will be missed by so many….Kim our hearts go out to you….god bless… you and the family…
I truly have no new words that can Express the feelings…loss and descriptions of Mark…Bullet. He was awesome on the softball field..the funniest..kindest guy who would do anything for anyone drop off dime. When my husband and I got together people we not supportive..to say the least..he saw this and quickly came into the middle of it to stand by us…tell us nothing else matters …forget others…youre happy that’s all that matters..so, so go do something..lol..you know Mark..go..go..go. And so we did…
When my now hubby and I were putting our wedding together it was an obvious choice who our ‘BEST MAN” would be…we gave him 6 months to plan for it and to Washington he came. He made friends naturally with everyone there.
I am so glad we found each other on facebook… I think I tracked him down.. The last time we saw him I was 2 years into chemo..I cant believe he’s the one gone at 51..WHAT…you mean after all we went through in the 80’s…and now this..lol..I seriously CALL FOUL! But I guess you had more work to do in heaven…
Mark was everyone’s best friend he met..thats so obvious by all the comments on Facebook…he was bigger then life and we were all blessed and changed by him…He was raised to be a good man…my prayers are with his loving family during this heartbreaking time..as a mother I cannot imagine…as a daughter I cannot imagine..and as a great love in Kim..I also cannot imagine…I can only imagine how much I hurt so it must be thousands of time worse for everyone else
