Remembering

Marc Boriack

Marc Dwight Boriack, age 52, was born the third child of Ted and Vera Boriack on April 25, 1957 in Lodi, CA and went to see Jesus in his heavenly home on the morning of March 1, 2010 after a gallant struggle with heart disease. Marc loved his Lord and knew passionately that a whole life with a whole body awaited his resurrection.

He graduated Lodi High School in 1975 where he loved photography and worked on the Flame newspaper and Yearbook. After high school he joined the US Army where he served 7 active years and 4 reserve years all over the United States and Germany. He was the general manager for a local Taco Bell franchise, along with his wife Robin he owned and operated 5 Subway Sandwich shops. He then went to work for Pilot Oil and finally Flying J Travel Plazas. He helped open the Lodi location and always loved being the manager to see to so many employees there.

He was a member of St. Peter Lutheran Church where he served as an Elder and always enjoyed all the aspects of being an Elder - especially giving communion in church and preaching at the Arbor Convalescent Hospital. He was the church advisor to the Boy Scout Troop 291. He was also a proud member of the DAV.

He was most happy being around his large loving family and will be very much missed by - wife of 29 years Robin Boriack of Lodi, son Steven Boriack of Auburn, Alabama, daughters Tina Schiaffino and Emily Boriack of Lodi, daughter Elizabeth Boriack of NAS Lemoore, and granddaughter Isabella Schiaffino of Lodi. There was no better time than when we could all be together laughing and talking and playing games. He always loved making jokes with everyone. He loved his wife and children completely. We got to go on many trips and vacations together.
