Mark always wanted to help everyone he ever met. He would always put others problems before his even if it affected him. He did so much good for so many people while he was here. I will miss our conversations and his words of wisdom. I will miss his humor and deep discussions about everything from farming, to politics, to investments. I always felt like I could talk with him about anything. I will miss Mark so much. The world was a better place because of Mark.
Carrie, I will be praying for you. Please do not hesitate to reach out for anything.

I enjoyed the many conversations that Mark and I had over the past few years and was looking forward to another when Carrie called to tell me that Marked had passed. He was one of a kind for sure. So very sorry to hear that news.

Carrie - I am so deeply saddened learning of Mark's passing. Nearly 40 years ago, I was new at (then) Direct and needed to meet Mark to discuss an account. I was told by a coworker, "Mark's a good guy and he'll tell you the truth." There could be no finer introduction. And now, it's his wonderful legacy. Cherish the memories.
