I grew up with Mark and was sadden to hear of his passing. He was a good man and I loved him. I miss him when I think about him.

It's so hard to put into words the impact Mark had on my life. I wish I could have told you my friend what you meant to me and how you shaped my ministry. Thank you for being there for the many pastors, churches, and people that you loved and encouraged over the years. We miss you, Mark. We miss your delightful spirit, your robust voice and laugh, your sense of humor, your willingness to push the church to be better. Rest well, my friend.

Pastor Mark was a good man and did much for others. A caring person who always put his members and community first. My deepest sympathy to his family.

I saw Mark At Adrian First United Methodist at my dad's funeral in 2015. He presented a very well written homily that I enjoyed.
He was a wonderful childhood friend. The kind that you never forget and the kind that makes a mark on your heart and soul. A fine, fine person.
