To The Family of Mark, my heart goes out to you, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Mark was a very special person that brought so much joy to all, both in his Roger Ranger roll as in his love for ELVIS
and his visit to our home for xmas. Bringing so much joy to our MOM, on the last Holiday she was to be with us.
Ivonne on behalf of myself and my family and also our WALMART family we are so saddened for your loss, he was such a kind person.

Some of the best times clowning was when we were part of Ranger Rogers' Road Show. We will never forget the time we met Mark and Yvonne in Branson for the Elvis competition. What a fun, loving couple. We just heard from him last week, went out of town, and return to find Mark is gone. We are very sad, but will never forget our dear friend. (Bob-Bo & Summer)

I knew you first as Ranger Roger as a child and even met you back then, then I met you when I worked at Wal Mart in Moore and knew you as Mark. You and your wife came in weekly and you both were just so nice! I am saddened to hear of your passing.

Mark, Ranger Roger-
You brought so much joy to so many. The brief time I knew you, I was amazed by your genuine kindness. It will live on.
Thank you, sir.

Went to High school with Mark at Capitol Hill, he was a big guy, but gentle as a lamb. I was on his show once to talk about collecting sports cards and memorabilia, he was so kind and professional. He came as a TV celebrity to a sports card show we held at the Capitol Hill Lions Club in the mid 90's, we had all kinds of sports stars (football, baseball etc.) the kids all ran right by them to see Ranger Roger. Rest in peace Mark, you made an impression on many lives.

I worked with Mark as the video engineer when we would tape the Ranger Rodger show here at KOKH. He was such a wonderful and caring person and always put 110% into everything that he did. My prayers go out to your family and may you always keep chasing your dream Mark! We will miss you, God Bless.

Sad today...
The King Size King has left the building! He will be missed! I worked along side him with him in production and Master Control. His Elvis was the greatest!

I worked with Mark for several years at KOCO. I always loved talking with him, he had such way of conversation. He may have been a huge man, but it was simply to contain his big personality and heart.
I would often find myself staying several hours after my shift, just hanging out with him back in Master Control. I never knew him as Ranger Roger, or the King Sized King. I knew him as 'hey buddy, how's your day going?' ... usually directed at me. I will miss those chats. He is truly one of a kind.

I remember watch Ranger Roger as a kid. I even got the chance to be on the show. I was amazed at how tall he was! He was a great guy and will be missed. My prayers go out to the famile.

I remember getting up every Saturday when I was a kid and watching cartoons. Thanks for the enjoyment and may god bless your family...

Mark was a very big man with a heart bigger than he was. I worked with Mark as the producer of "Camp Kids Club 25," for many years. When we traveled around the Oklahoma City area, shooting footage for our program, kids would come running when they saw him, yelling his name, wanting to shake his hand or give him a hug. The program was so misnamed, it was not the "Camp Kids Club 25," show it was the "Ranger Roger," show. You will be sorely missed my friend by those who's heart you touched. In great sadness, I bid you a fond farewell and a heartfelt thank you for letting me be a small part of your life. R.I.P.

Mark, I wonder if you had any idea how many lives you touched, especially the children who watched your show. You were always the sweetest boy in school. Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever.

Momments ago, I learned of Mark's passing. It was an honor working with him, our Gentle Giant Ranger Roger. Mark's heart was bigger than all outdoors. He was loved by thousands of children and everyone that was fortunate enough to meet him. Love you Mark!! Sending his lovely wife Yvonne, prayers of comfort.
