I am so very sorry to hear about Mark. He and I worked together at the Nissan plant and at the LaVergne plant. We took the steam engineer's exam together in Memphis. I always enjoyed working with him and he always had a smile. Words can not express my deepest sorrow for Mark's family and I know he is probably playing golf with God right now. He was a true friend and we only have a few of them in our lifetime. I am so proud to say he was one of mine!

Dearest Diane and Boys and Family,
Our hearts are with you, and know how much your family is loved and admired for your servitude and strength and faith in all circumstances. Looking back I remember when Mark and Diane fell in love, and I remember the birth of the boys and even the birth of the first grand baby girl, and I find myself just thanking the Lord and thanking Mark for loving my BFF unconditionally and gratefully all these years. He lived by his faith in his Savor Jesus Christ, and its so easy to see all the blessings that came out of this union together. He certainly found his soulmate in Diane, and everyone knows how much he loved her, the boys, and his family. Near the end and after that UT win last weekend, while holding sweet Callie, I am to understand that he kept that infectious light-up-a-room smile on his face through the pain which reflects his God-honoring character and perseverance. We can only imagine that right now Mark is the one dancing and praising before our ever-smiling, loving Father God.
Psalm 30:11- You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing. You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy.
In the days to follow, we are here for you, even if just to lift you up in prayer from a distance. Like Mark, He will turn your mourning into joyful dancing bc Heaven is worth it!!!
Love you, sweet Diane, Matthew, Zac, and John Braxton snd family. You are truly loved and admired by so many.
Hugs of comfort and Gods peace and sorry this turned into a book,
Mary Jane and Steve Charles, and Taylor and Casey:)
Oh yeah, Go VOLS! (Only for Mark)

We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Mark. We remember Mark from Little League in Smyrna. He was always at the ball field. I was a Little League Coach. Coach Barney Gaines. We moved away to Pennsylvania after my retirement but I still remember those Little League Days. Mark was a great player. Most respectful
to others. May he rest in peace and blessings to his family. Friends, Bernard and Shirley Gaines

Diane and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. What a great legacy he leaves us with. He was a great friend to me and was my first friend when we moved to Smyrna in 1973. I have many happy memories that I will carry with me forever.
