We were shocked to hear the news of Mark's passing. He was one of the best
neighbors we ever had. He was always willing to help you out and we enjoyed the many garage get togethers with him. Our thoughts and prayers are with Barb and the kids.

I will miss Mark and always remember the great conversations we had over the fence. The ol' infamous words "you"ll see, you'll see". Mark was more than a neighbor, he was a friend who enlightened two younger guys next door. No doubt he loved people, and those that allowed him in, loved him as well. He bragged of the kids and his grandchildren. I'm so happy that he retired early so he could do other things he enjoyed. I guess he was a prophet, because he called the ending to T. God bless you Mark, and the family.

Mark and I shared many adventures while going to school in Ft. Morgan. I left after graduation and hadn't seen Mark for forty years at our re-union. It was nice to know he was still the warm and joking person that I had known so long ago. His passing will create a hole in many peoples lives. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.

I knew Mark in Ft. Morgan many years ago. I hung out with his brother Mike and considered his Mom Alma my "second" mom.
I recently reconected with him on Classmates website, but did not know him as an adult.
My sympathies to his family

Mark, as I remember him.

Sweet Mark. Who would come to the house so often to have a beer and jam with my George? Mark did. And when George got sick, who was there to help me take him to chemo? Mark was. After he died, who was there to come by just to check on me and make sure everything was okay? Mark was there. And who has called every year on the day of George's death anniversary? Mark called -- until this year. I waited for his call on Jan. 31. Instead, Barb called to say Mark had gone to once again jam with George. Dear God! I will miss that selfless man!

My thoughts and prayers to Mark's family. I enjoyed seeing Mark when I would go back to Ft. Morgan. On his postal route. I will always remember him and Toad, Mark B. and others in high school. Charlie Bragg, Vernal, UT.

Mark's death was sudden. I remember when I heard the news I simply could not believe it. Mark was too young but as it slowly occurred to me, I have realized that he indeed lived his life wonderfully. Mark was well-loved and he had done many things on earth and I'm sure he'll do much more in heaven. I will forever be grateful to have known him. I will forever be grateful that Mark was there at the right place and at the right time to become my friend. I will forever be grateful for spending 46 years of my life with a friend like him. All the memories I have shared with him will forever be cherished and remembered. Mark will forever live in my heart... In our hearts.
My deepest sympathies to the Schneider family.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Schneider family. Mark was one of the kindest men I have ever known, he always had great advice for whatever project you were doing. I will miss his advice, and playing music with him.
