Darrel (Mark) Heyne
Darrel (Mark) Heyne, 68, of Lawa‘i, and formally of Wainiha, peacefully went home to his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on May 31, 2022, due to 5 years of diabetes complications. Born in Santa Monica, CA., on May 1, 1954 to Darrel George and Gwen Heyne. Marky-Mark, is what he often called himself, was born the same day his grandfather Roland Heyne was born.
Marky-Mark attended Ala Wai Elementary, Kawananakoa Internediate on O‘ahu, than finished his high school education at Kapa‘a High School. Though Mark did not attend culinary school, he had a natural gift when it came to cooking, whether for one person or hundreds of people. He was known for preparing local Hawaiian food, with enough leftovers so that his ALOHA could be extended to their dinner table the next day. It brought Mark so much JOY to see people filled with food he prepared with so much love.
At a very early age, Marky-Mark and his brother Robert had their own paper route delivering newspaper in Nu‘uanu, O‘ahu. He also worked many years for the Ching family cooking at the Village Snack Shop & Bakery in Hanalei, while his wife Claire cooked and baked along side of him. He also worked as a laborer for Spencer’s Masonry, Inc., in Kilauea. Fishing and gathering from the land to provide for his family was one of Mark’s passions, along with gardening and landscaping. Mark loved being a steward of the land caring for native plants and keeping the land looking it’s best.
Mark survived by his sister Ginger Heyne McDowell of Lihu‘e, stepdad Don McDowell of Long Beach, Washington, Matthew Heyne of Cowichan Bay, British Columbia, his cousin, caregiver, and dearest friend of all times, Loui Cabebe and his wife Fumi of Hanapepe, Kaua’i.
Preceded in death by parents Darrel and Gwen Heyne, sister Melanie Kolika Heyne of a Princeville, Kaua‘i, and brother Robert Heyne of Anchorage, Alaska.
Please join us this Saturday, Jan. 7, 2023, at the Princeville Park Pavilion from 1:30 to 4 p.m. for Mark’s Celebration of Life. A private scattering of Mark’s ashes will be held at a later date with his immediate family.
