For over two decades, Mark served the people of Louisiana with honor as a dedicated member

circumstances. After retiring from the Louisiana State Police as a Lieutenant, Mark's journey
continued in the Louisiana Film Industry, where as a Teamster, he worked with many esteemed
actors such as Tom Cruise, Gerard Butler, Samuel L. Jackson, Sylvester Stallone, and many
more.
Mark's presence was a gift he shared willingly, both within his professional and personal life.
He leaves behind a legacy of love, dedication, integrity, and an indelible mark on the hearts of
all who knew him. Mark's life was defined by his unwavering commitment to his family, his
community, and his lifelong service to others.
Beyond his professional accomplishments, Mark's heart truly belonged to his beloved family.
He is survived by his loving wife, Kellie Bascle; his children, Mark David Bascle Jr. (Denise

grandchildren, Bryce Nicholas Bascle, Blake William Bascle, Isabella Rose Bascle, Riley

Mark’s family was his pride and joy. He reveled in their achievements and provided unwavering
support in their endeavors. Their laughter and love brought immeasurable joy to his life. Mark's
commitment to family was evident through his traditions, like the cherished "Bascle Family Fun
Night," where he fostered unity, love, and shared memories.
Mark leaves a void that cannot be filled, but his legacy will continue to inspire generations to
come. His life was a testament to the power of love, kindness, and service. As we remember
his enduring smile, infectious laugh and compassionate soul, we find comfort in the knowledge
that his spirit lives on in the lives he touched.
