Mark B. James

Mark Boush James, 67, of Newburgh, IN, passed away on Sunday, July 19, 2026, at Ascension St. Vincent Hospital in Evansville, IN. He was born in Palm Beach County, FL to the late Jesse and Elisabeth (Kinney) James on May 5, 1959.

Mark served six years in the United States Marine Corps and was discharged honorably as a Corporal. Mark graduated from Buffalo Grove High School in Buffalo Grove, IL. He attended Harper College for his associate’s degree and attended Northeastern Illinois University for a bachelor's degree in business management.
