My Condolences ! Rest In Gods Arms

We are so sorry to hear of Mark's passing. He was such a sweet person. Thoughts and prayers for the family.

The buckeye tree, ornamental peach tree, and crepe myrtle in my yard were gifts from Mark. They have always been special to me and now stand as a testament to Mark’s generosity and thoughtfulness. Mark, I will remember you always.

Mark, my beloved cousin, may you rest in eternal peace. You will be forever missed by all those who loved you. Sending my deepest sympathies to my uncle and aunt, as well as my cousins Noah and Parker.

Mark our dear nephew, you were a true gem. There are no words to describe our grieving and sorrow. We pray you’ve found eternal peace. Our souls will only be soothed by precious memories. We’ll always love you sweetheart. Rest in peace

I’ve known Mark all of his life, in fact when he was a baby I would carry him around on my hip and he would just smile.We didn’t see each other as often after we were grown but when I did see him there was that sweet smile, lots of hugs and funny stories about when we were kids with Noah and Brian and our families. Such precious memories we all shared. My family and the Prater’s aren’t family by blood but family by heart. I love you Mark and my heart is broken but I can see your sweet face...

Mark was a great brother we grew up together and went through school together. He will be missed reast easy my brother.

Mark was a great guy and a great father. He loved his son so much!!! I know he is in a much better place!!! Rest easy my friend!!! He will be missed!
