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

Ryan I'm so sorry for your loss, he was a very special person to me I will always love him he has a special place in my heart forever. Remembering our good times with my kids and the fun we had playing or watching the kids, was there when my son married and even met my granddaughters. We will keep the 3 of you in our prayers and remember I will always be there if you need.

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.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. Mark always had great family support, but after the accident, it was even greater. To Cindy and all of Mark's family may God wrap his loving arms around you all and give you strength and peace during this difficult time.

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.
