Bella Vista, AR—The Bella Vista community is mourning the unexpected passing of Markus Charles Koch, who passed away on August 4, 2024, in Springfield, Missouri. Markus, aged 33, was born on May 8, 1991, in St. Louis, Missouri, and was the beloved son of James "Jim" and Denise Brameier Koch.
Markus was a devoted husband to his wife, Jamie, and a loving father to their two young children, Amelia and Owen. Known for his strong work ethic, Markus was a superintendent at Crossland Construction, where he was highly respected for his leadership and dedication. His colleagues admired the integrity and commitment he brought to every project, leaving a lasting impact on those he worked with.
Markus’s passing has deeply affected his family, friends, and colleagues. His parents, Jim and Denise Koch, along with his brothers Matthew and Ryan, are heartbroken over the loss of a son and brother who was cherished by all who knew him. Markus’s warmth, generosity, and the joy he brought to others will be remembered by his family, including his dear uncle, aunts, cousins, nieces, and nephew.
In addition to his immediate family, the community has come together to support Markus’s wife and children. A fundraiser has been organized by Linh Ta to help secure Amelia and Owen’s future, with a goal of raising $10,000 to assist with their education and other needs.
The outpouring of love and support on social media has been overwhelming, with many expressing their grief and sharing memories of Markus. Among those who have shared their thoughts is Bradley Todd Forehand, who simply asked, "What happened to him?"—a question that echoes the shock and sorrow felt by many.
