His interests were centered around sports and you could always find him on the baseball diamond, basketball court or playing football with his friends and twin brother Mike. After graduating from high school, Mark worked with his father in the carpet and flooring industry. He spent his adult life in the Long Beach area as a career carpet and flooring representative. He leaves a son, Jason; his brother, Mike; his sister, Alyson; his dear friend, Patricia Wright. A private memorial service is being held. Contact information for friends: [email protected].

I've known Mark (& Mike) since elementary school, we competed in summer softball, then went to school together at Rogers and Wilson and got to know each other. We lost touch for years at a time but when we ran into each other we talked like old friends, last time in the late 90's. He was a good guy. I'm glad I knew him. Rest in peace.
