A.C. Haulmark Jr. passed away on Sunday, May 17 at the age of 77.
Born on October 1, 1948, to A.C. Sr. and Mary Haulmark in Kansas City, Kansas, A.C. lived a life marked by hard work, quiet strength, and an unshakeable commitment to protecting his family. He was a devoted son, husband, father, grandfather, brother, and uncle.
He married his high school sweetheart, Vickie Sue Bolen, on July 23, 1968. After his years in the US Navy, he and Vickie settled in De Soto, Kansas, raising their three children, Teresa, Travis, and Jenny.
He loved hunting, fishing, coin collecting and genealogy and found great joy with his grandkids, teasing, and beating them at board games and pool any chance he could. Those who knew him will remember him for his sense of humor, steady presence, and quiet wisdom.
He proudly served in the United States Navy for 10 years, 1967-1977, during the Vietnam War, as a Seabee. His dedication, patriotism, and service to his country were a source of great pride throughout his life.
He is survived by his wife, Vickie, children, Travis and Jessica of Lawrence, Jenny Haulmark of Paola, grandkids, Benjamin and Lily, Jacob, Lucas and Emily, and Noah Beggs, Owen and Nora Haulmark, Nicholas and Wyatt Nelson. He has been reunited in heaven with his parents, A.C. Sr. and Mary Haulmark, sisters Sue Klint and Sharon Mitchell, brother Gary Haulmark, daughter Teresa Beggs, and grandson Brandon Beggs.
A visitation and memorial service will be held at Cedar Crest Memorial Chapel in De Soto, Kansas, on Saturday, May 30. Visitation 2-3 pm, Memorial Service 3 pm. Private graveside services at a later date.
Though no longer by our side, his love, guidance, and memory will remain with us forever.
