Mr. George Marcus Crisler “Mark”, age 72 of Moody/Talladega, Alabama, went home to be with the LORD on Thursday, September 23rd, 2021 after he lost his battle with the aftermath of covid and a secondary MRSA infection. He was born in Rome, Georgia on March 4th, 1949 and grew up in Cedar Bluff, Alabama. He was preceded in death by his parents, Quinton Augustus Crisler and Aulta (Audrey) Lee Mobbs Crisler. Mark graduated as valedictorian of Cedar Bluff High School in 1967 and graduated college from Auburn University in 1971 with a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering. He worked diligently for Southern Company Services/Southern Nuclear for 46 years, beginning in 1972, and retiring to a life on the lake in Talladega. He loved all sports, especially Auburn football and Braves baseball, fishing, piddling, yard work and the beauty of being on the lake. He was kind and generous, loving and patient, dedicated and faithful. He always had a plan in place, never made a hasty decision, and although he was a man of few words, they were always powerful, impactful and full of wisdom. He was funny and quirky and lived a life that honored the LORD. He faithfully attended First Baptist Church of Moody for 41 years and taught preschoolers in Sunday School with his wife for 38 of those years. His greatest earthly treasure is the family he leaves behind. Mark spent every opportunity he could with family. His wife of 47 years, Norma Popham Crisler, was well loved, spoiled and protected. He treated her the way God calls a husband to treat his wife. His children, Heath Crisler (Michaela), Brandi Meyers (Josh), were given every opportunity he could give them for success. He taught them life skills, perseverance, and integrity. He loved them whole heartedly. The grandchildren he leaves behind ruled his every move. He was deeply involved in every aspect of the lives of Austin, Sawyer, Jameson, Mason and Lucy. He was incredibly proud of each of them, understood how to best show love to them individually, and was always there to support them. They will continue a legacy for him, showcasing all the attributes he has inspired into their lives. He also leaves behind his brother and best friend Steve Crisler (Joanne) whom he deeply loved and appreciated, several nieces and nephews, brothers and sisters-in-law, cousins, various family and many friends. The family would like to invite you to attend any service most convenient for you to pay your respects to Mark. There is no expectation for anyone to attend all three.
