Worked with Mark on many projects for the Courtdale Vol. Fire Co. He was a great asset to our organization. It will be hard to replace him for he did so much for the hose company. Rest in peace my good buddy. Prayers and condolences to your family

Working hand-in-hand with Mark the last couple of years with CVHC 119, as Treasure, he helped me a lot this past couple of years; to me it was fitting that he passed on the day Justify was a triple crown winner; to me, Mark was already a triple crown winner for all the hard work he did of CVHC 119; he will be sorely missed; truly a great friend.

Mark's life certainly took an unexpected turn after his accident many years ago. Despite that, whenever I would see him he would be smiling. Remembering Mark fondly and lifting prayers for his family and friends.
