We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Mark Fankhauser, Municipal Judge for Portage County.

Judge Fankhauser dedicated his life to serving our county with integrity, fairness, and compassion. His commitment to justice and his steady presence on the bench made a lasting impact on countless lives throughout the county.

Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family, friends, colleagues, and all who had the privilege of knowing and working alongside him. May you find comfort in the memories you shared and in the legacy of service he leaves behind.

He will be greatly missed, but never forgotten.
