He was born September 1, 1932, in Wardsville, Missouri the son of the late Albert Bernard and Marie Elizabeth (Winkelmann) Markway. He attended St Stanislaus School in Wardsville and was a 1946 graduate of St Peters High School in Jefferson City. Louie served his country in the United States Army during the Korean Conflict. On August 28, 1954, he was united in marriage, at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Jefferson City, to Doris Lee Scheuler, who survives at the home. During his working career, Louie operated a gas station quick shop in Wardsville, was a carpenter, owned and operated Markway Excavation, worked with the Missouri Department of Corrections in Maintenance and was employed by Dulle-Trimble Funeral Home.
