Mark and I went to Plainfield High School together and were on the F.I.R.S.T. Robotics Team #136 together. I remember him always being a leader and someone who took charge and responsibility. Im saddened to learn, so long after, that he passed. My condolences to his family. From knowing him and seeing his qualities, Im not surprised he became a fireman. Rest In heaven Mark.

Mark was a great friend to Matt and I, they always worked on that speedboat. We were always talking about craigslist and his trades. Saturday the 10, he text me about another boat on craigslist.. he was always wanting a new project. Mark always stole my food, and was very very excited about our little one coming. He said, "I better be there when the baby comes!" We would laugh and say, "Duh Mark, youre going to be an uncle." lol. We lost a great friend that we considered family, and we are going to stay in touch with everyone. Our kids will be best friends!! Love you Guys-- Molly & Matt.
