Mark was a loving son, brother, nephew, cousin and friend to everyone he met. He will always be remembered for his compassionate and generous heart, dimpled smile, witty and funny personality, passion for cooking and eating, and especially his love for Carolina Tarheel basketball.

Mark was a treasure. My fondest memories of high school involve Mark- arguing basketball and politics, taking chemistry tests, laughing in math class. Mark even taught me how to use email and I sent my very first one to him. We are all so lucky to have had our lives touched by him.
Y'all are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Tse Family,
I was saddened to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. One of my fondest memories was one Christmas when all three children came to the ICU to make "rounds". Mark was probably around 13. He was full smiles and so sweet.
In Christ's Love,
