Mr. Mark E. Bynum, Sr., transitioned peacefully on Monday, April 17, 2023, surrounded by family while in Baptist East Hospice. Mr. Bynum was born May 21, 1968, in Memphis, TN, to the late Geraldine Bynum and living Claude E. Bynum, Jr. He was a member of Centenary United Methodist Church, where he attended as a young man. Living in Memphis, TN, his entire life, he attended Woodale High School. When lifted in spirit, his voice and laughter could be heard from miles away.
