My Marky Mark. You could never fathom how much I cared for you. I think now of the arguement we use to have all the time, of me tryimg to convince you that yes you were that special!! There are no words for the way I am feeling but if your up there you know. I will miss everything about you. I find myself thinking only of the practical jokes you pulled on me and I will never forget the look on your face when you had to tell me about my motorcycle. I wanted to laugh you were so distraught. It was only a mirror.My very special friend I will think about you everyday and the beautiful little girl you left behind. I love you Marky Mark!!

Uncle Marky:
Not only is he my godfather, but the best uncle anyone could ask for. From all the memories we have, he was always hysterical, funny and always had long words of wisdom to share with me. Ive never met such a hard worker in my life.Gabrielle will never forget her father, as they were absolute best friends. I can still hear him say "I love you kiddo, your my best friend". Uncle Mark, you will be missed terribly and I love you.

Dear Elaine and family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this painful time.
Mark was a special person and a wonderful neighbor when we lived next door to each other in Albion.
He always had a smile and a kind word. He will be greatly missed.

I was extremely privilaged to have spent sixteen years with him as my uncle. Those who got the chance to meet him probably know he was not afraid to tell people exactly what he thought which is one of my favorite things about him. He also was the smartest person I knew... he always had some strange or bizarre fact to share. He also had the best stories. I used to love listening to him because he was always so passionate about everything he said. And the voices and faces he would make were hilarious. He was my closest uncle and it was a huge shock to my family and I when we heard he passed. My uncle Mark will remain in our hearts and I will always remember the good times we spent with him.

Dear Mark, I feel just awful for what has happened. Gabrielle has lost a wonderful father and my heart aches for her. We will make sure for the rest of her life that she knows what a wonderful father you were. I have some great memories of us in the early days and I will cherish them.
