My Story Mark DWayne Jenkins Corinthians 4:16-18 “That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day. For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.” Mark DWayne Jenkins was born on July 10, 1970, to his parents, Johnny Jenkins, Jr. and Sharon Major in Denver, Colorado. He was raised surrounded by his brothers, Gary, Johnny and his sister, Jaquay. As a child, he was known as the “class clown” and was often scolded about his behavior. He was an adventurous young man and enjoyed spending the night at his best friends L.C.’s house. Mark received his fundamental education by attending Sproul Elementary, Widefield Junior High School and graduated from East High School. It was while in school, he met L.C., Gary and Adrian; they have been lifelong friends. He furthered his education by attending Devry University. In May of 2003, Mark enlisted in the Colorado National Guard. He was assigned to the Logistics Unit of the United States Army located on Buckley Air Force Base in Aurora, Colorado. He was very proud to serve his country and took his duty assignment seriously. He thought of his military unit members both past and present as family. He went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure each soldier was taken care of and received what they needed. He was a dedicated military member who performed his duties with a spirit of excellence.
