I too went to school with Mark up until we graduated. He was a great guy and our class has lost another member all too soon. I know he's in a far better place and is relieved of suffering, but feel deepest sympathy for those he left behind.

I went to school with Mark as far back as elementary. He was my first boy crush in 5th grade. I still have a pin he gave me back in 5th grade. I didn't know him well after elementary, but remember him at every class reunion we had. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
Sincerely,
Craig & Nancy (DeWitt) Denniston
